ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the January 29, 2021 Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra (DE 23). The R&R
recommends granting Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and denying Plaintiff’s

finds that Magistrate Judge Becerra’s well-reasoned R&R accurately states the law of the case.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that:
1. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra’s January 29, 2021 Report and Recommendation
(DE 23) be, and the same is, hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as an Order of this
Court;
2. Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 21) is hereby GRANTED;
3. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 19) is hereby DENIED; and
4. Final judgment will be set out in a separate document pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 58(a).
