Hopkins, United States Magistrate Judge [DE # 62], recommending that the court grant both motions. Defendant filed an objection to the report and recommendation [DE # 63].1 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3), the court has reviewed de novo those portions of the magistrate judge's report and recommendation to which objections have been made. Having carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation and defendant's objection, the court finds the resolution of the issues as recommended by Magistrate Judge Hopkins to be sound and well reasoned. The court therefore adopts those recommendations. Upon review of the report of the magistrate judge and defendant's objections, it is hereby

Defendant requests a five-day extension of time to supplement the objection. But since more than five days have passed since that request was made with no supplement having been filed, the court will deny that request as moot.
