MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on August 18, 2015,
recommending the plaintiff’s motion for leave to conduct additional discovery be
denied, and further recommending the defendant’s motion for summary judgment be
granted and this matter be dismissed with prejudice. No objections have been filed
by any party.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, the magistrate judge’s report is
ADOPTED and her recommendation is ACCEPTED. The Court EXPRESSLY
FINDS there are no genuine issues of material fact and the defendant is entitled to
judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, the plaintiff’s motion for leave to conduct
additional discovery (doc. 17) is DENIED, the defendant’s 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.
