ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on February
14, 2014 his Recommended Decision (ECF No. 10). The Plaintiffs filed their
objections to the Recommended Decision on February 28, 2014 (ECF No. 11)
and the Defendant filed its response to those objections on March 5, 2014
(ECF No. 12).

I have reviewed and considered the Magistrate Judge's

Recommended Decision, together with the entire record; I have made a de
novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge's
Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the
United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in his
Recommended Decision, and determine that no further proceeding is
necessary.
1. It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of
the Magistrate Judge is hereby AFFIRMED.

2. It is further ORDERED that the Defendant’s Motion to
Dismiss (ECF No. 7) be and hereby is GRANTED as
Plaintiffs’ claim is barred by the doctrine of res judicata.
SO ORDERED.
/s/John A. Woodcock, Jr.
