ORDER ADOPTING AND AFFIRMING JANUARY 10, 2014
RECOMMENDATIONS OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72. (Doc. # 20.) On February 11-18, 2014,
Judge Mix issued three Recommendations on a number of motions. (Doc. ## 139, 151,
155, 176, 190, 202.) In those Recommendations, Judge Mix found as follows:
•
That Motion to Dismiss (Doc # 155) be granted and that Defendants
Phil Campbell and Lucia Schirard be dismissed from this lawsuit.
(Doc. # 208.)
•
That Motion to Dismiss (Doc #139) be granted in part and denied in part
and that further Motions to Dismiss (Doc ## 151, 176, 190) be granted.
(Doc. # 209) 1
•
That Motion to Amend (Doc. # 210) be denied and that Plaintiffs not be
permitted to amend the Second Amended Complaint to add Randey
Robinette as a plaintiff. (Doc # 211)
Both parties filed timely objections to Judge Mix’s Recommendation. (Doc.
## 213, 214.) As required by 28 U.S.C. ' 636(b), the Court has therefore conducted
a de novo review of this matter, including carefully reviewing all relevant pleadings,
the Reports and Recommendations, and the parties’ Objections to the Reports and
Recommendations. Based on this de novo review, the Court concludes that the
Magistrate Judge=s Reports and Recommendations are correct and are not called into
question by the parties’ objections.

Fender, Amber Fender, Schmidt, Hamby, Smith, Harrington, Webb, Phippen, Williams, Burke,

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’ objections

FURTHER ORDERED that the Recommendations of United States Magistrate
Judge Kristen L. Mix (Doc. ## 208, 209, 211) are AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as an

Pursuant to the Recommendations, it is FURTHER ORDERED THAT:
