dated December 8, 2011 (doc. 572), recommending an amendment to the court’s Order

the essence. Therefore, having fully considered the matter, the court concludes that the
Report and Recommendation should be adopted.
Accordingly, it is now ORDERED as follows:
1.

The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation (doc. 572) is adopted

and incorporated by reference in this order.
