ORDER

Before the court is the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge that the court
grant Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the basis of res judicata and
collateral estoppel. (Doc. # 49.) Plaintiff has filed objections. (Doc. # 52.) Based
upon an independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation
to which objection is made, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), the court finds that the
Recommendation adequately addresses and properly rejects the underpinnings of
Plaintiff’s Objections without need for further elaboration and that the Objections
lack merit. Accordingly, it is ORDERED a follows:
(1)

Plaintiff’s Objections (Doc. # 52) are OVERRULED;

(2)

The Recommendation (Doc. # 49) is ADOPTED; and.

(3)

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. # 41) is GRANTED.

A final judgment will be entered separately.

DONE this 6th day of August, 2018.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
