On August 2, 2017, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court,
with copies to the parties, his Recommended Decision. Recommended Decision (ECF
No. 46). The Defendants filed their objection to the Recommended Decision on August

Magistrate Judge.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate
Judge is hereby ADOPTED and the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is
