ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on February 4, 2015 his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 14). Defendant Peter Tinkham filed his Objection to the
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 16) on February 12, 2015.
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 her 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 ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Remand is GRANTED and Plaintiffs’ Request
for Costs and Fees is DENIED (ECF No. 6).
3. It is ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Transfer (ECF No. 4) is DENIED.

4. It is ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike and for Sanctions (ECF No. 10) is
DENIED.
5. It is ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Sanctions and Award of Attorney’s Fees and
Costs (ECF No. 13) is DENIED.
