Defendant

ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on December 7, 2016, his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 99). Plaintiff filed her Objection to the Recommended
Decision (ECF No. 100) on December 22, 2016. Defendant filed her Response to Plaintiff’s
Objection to the Recommended Decision (ECF No. 103) on January 12, 2017.
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.

Plaintiff having conceded that Defendant is entitled to summary judgment on
Counts II and III and having failed to make out a triable issue of the existence of a

materially adverse employment action with respect to Count I, it is hereby
ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 63) is
GRANTED,

/s/George Z. Singal_____________
U.S. District Judge
Dated this 23rd day of January, 2017.
