MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (Doc.
29) of Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams with regard to the defendants’ motion to dismiss
(Doc. 23). The Court may accept, reject, or modify—in whole or in part—the findings or
recommendations of the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. FED. R. CIV. P.
72(b)(3). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which objections are made.

unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir.
1999).

entire file and finds that the Report is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby:


ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 29);



GRANTS the defendants’ motion to dismiss (Doc. 23), which has been construed as a
motion for summary judgment;



FINDS AS MOOT the defendants’ motion to stay discovery (Doc. 28);



DISMISSES this case with prejudice; and



DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to enter judgment accordingly.
