ORDER ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
At a session of said Court, held in
the U.S. Courthouse, Detroit, Michigan
on
January 3, 2017
PRESENT:

Honorable Gerald E. Rosen
United States District Judge

In a report and recommendation (“R & R”) issued on November 22, 2016,
Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub recommends that the Court deny the motion
to dismiss brought by Defendant Grand Trunk Western Railroad Inc. Neither
party has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s R & R, and the deadline for
doing so has passed. Having reviewed the R & R, the parties’ submissions in
support of and in opposition to Defendant’s underlying motion to dismiss, and the
remainder of the record, the Court concurs in the Magistrate Judge’s analysis and

adopts the R & R as the opinion of this Court. Accordingly,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate
Judge’s November 22, 2016 Report and Recommendation (docket #19) is
ADOPTED in its entirety as the opinion of this Court. IT IS FURTHER
ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R & R, that Defendant’s May 25, 2016
motion to dismiss (docket #6) is DENIED. In light of these rulings, IT IS
FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s December 8, 2016 motion for order (docket
#20) is DENIED AS MOOT.

United States District Judge
Dated: January 3, 2017
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties
and/or counsel of record on January 3, 2017, by electronic and/or ordinary mail.
