MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on August 31, 2012, recommending that the
defendants’ special report be treated as a motion for summary judgment and, as such,
that it be granted and this action dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiff filed
objections to the report and recommendation on November 14, 2012.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation and the objections filed by the plaintiff,
the court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge’s report is due to be, and it hereby
is, ADOPTED, and his recommendation is ACCEPTED. The court EXPRESSLY
FINDS that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that the defendants are
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, defendants’ motion for
summary judgment is due to be GRANTED and this action is due to be DISMISSED
WITH PREJUDICE. A Final Judgment will be entered.

DONE this 27th of December, 2012.
