Case No. 2:11-cv-03409-HGD

MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 14, 2014, the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation was
entered with respect to the Motions to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, Motions for
Summary Judgment filed by defendants Andrew Bates and Lynn Bates, and the
parties were allowed therein fourteen (14) days in which to file objections to the
recommendations made by the magistrate judge. No objections to the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation have been filed by plaintiff or defendants Andrew
Bates or Lynn Bates.
After careful consideration of the record in this case and the magistrate judge’s
report and recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the report of the magistrate
judge. The court further ACCEPTS the recommendations of the magistrate judge.

It is, therefore, ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Motion to Dismiss,
or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment of Andrew Bates (doc. 48) is DENIED
because of the existence of genuine issues of material fact. It is further ORDERED,
ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Motion to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, for
Summary Judgment of Lynn Bates (doc. 49) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
because further discovery is needed before plaintiff may respond fully to any motion
for summary judgment by Lynn Bates.
Done this 12th day of March 2014.

L. Scott Coogler
United States District Judge
[160704]
