On March 21, 2008, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment which this Court referred to Magistrate Judge Virginia M. Morgan. On January 13, 2009, Magistrate Judge Morgan filed her Report and Recommendation (R&R) recommending that this Court grant Defendants' motion for summary judgment. At

the conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Morgan advises the parties that they may object to and seek review of the R&R within ten days of service upon them. (R&R at 18.) She further specifically advises the parties that "[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right of appeal." ( Id.) Neither party filed objections to the R&R. The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Morgan. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendants' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. A judgment consistent with this opinion shall issue.
