OPINION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit asserting a claim under

the ‘self-care’ provision of the Family Medical Leave Act,

29 U.S.C. § 2612(a)(1)(D). This lawsuit is now before the

court on the recommendation of the United States

Magistrate Judge that defendant’s motion for summary

judgment should be granted. Also before the court are

plaintiff’s objections to the recommendation. After an

independent and de novo review of the record, the court

concludes that plaintiff’s objections should be overruled

and the magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted.
