Case No. 12-2082

ORDER
On July 16, 2012, Magistrate Judge David G. Bernthal filed a Report and
Recommendation (# 20) in the above cause. Judge Bernthal recommended granting the Motion
to Dismiss (# 10) filed by Defendant AFSCME Council 31 and granting the Motion to Dismiss
(#16) filed by Defendant Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Neither party filed an objection to Judge Bernthal’s Recommendation within fourteen
days after being served with a copy, as allowed by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore both parties
have waived any objection. This court has carefully reviewed Judge Bernthal’s Report and
Recommendation. Following this court’s careful de novo review of the Report and
Recommendation, this court agrees with Judge Bernthal’s thorough and well-supported analysis
recommending that the two Motions to Dismiss (#10, #16) should be granted. Accordingly, those
recommendations are accepted by this court.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
(1) The Report and Recommendation (# 20) is accepted by this court.
(2) The Motion to Dismiss (# 10) filed by AFSCME Council 31 is GRANTED.
AFSCME Council 31 is terminated as a Defendant in this action.
(3) The Motion to Dismiss (# 16) filed by Illinois Veterans Home (Illinois Department of
Veterans’ Affairs) is GRANTED. Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs is
terminated as a Defendant in this action.
(4) This case is terminated.
ENTERED this 2nd day of October, 2012
