JULIE L JONES,

______________________________/
ORDER
This cause comes on for consideration upon the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation dated March 13, 2017. (Doc. 21). The parties have been furnished a
copy of the Report and Recommendation and have been afforded an opportunity to file
objections pursuant to Title 28, United States Code, Section 636(b)(1). Petitioner
moved for an extension of time to file objections, Doc. 22, but before the Court could
act on the motion, Petitioner timely filed objections at Doc. 23. Accordingly, the motion
for an extension of time is denied as moot. I have made a de novo review of the Report
and Recommendation based on those objections. Having considered the Report and
Recommendation, and the timely filed objections, I have determined that the Report
and Recommendation should be adopted.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.

The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, Doc. 21, is adopted
and incorporated by reference in this order.
