Case No. 7:14-cv-01347-CLS-HNJ

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on September 20, 2016, recommending
defendant’s special report be treated as a motion for summary judgment and further
recommending that the motion be granted. (Doc. 24). Although the parties were
advised of their right to file specific written objections within fourteen (14) days, no
objections have been received by the court.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the report
of the magistrate judge and ACCEPTS his recommendations that defendant’s motion
for summary judgment be granted, and this action be dismissed with prejudice.
A separate order in conformity with this Memorandum Opinion will be entered
contemporaneously herewith.

DONE this 27th day of July, 2017.
