ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is presently before the Court on cross motions for summary judgment.
Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder has submitted a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) in which he
recommends that plaintiff’s motion be denied and that defendant’s motion be granted. Neither party has
objected to the R&R and the time for them to do so has expired. The Court has reviewed the file, the parties’
briefs and the R&R and finds the magistrate judge’s analysis to be correct and his recommendation to be
sound. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Binder’s R&R is hereby accepted and adopted as
the findings and conclusions of the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted.
