MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on November 17, 2016, recommending that

file, including the report and recommendation, the magistrate judge’s report is hereby
ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. The court EXPRESSLY
FINDS that no genuine issues of material fact exist and that the defendants are
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, the defendants’ motion for
summary judgment is due to be GRANTED.
