GOLDSMITH DETROIT MEDICAL CENTER, Defendant. ___________________________/ ORDER (1) ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [DE#23], (2) OVERRULING PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTIONS, and (3) GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [DE#21] This matter is presently before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of Magistrate Judge Virginia M. Morgan, issued on February 17, 2011. The Magistrate Judge recommends that Defendant's motion for summary judgment be granted. Plaintiff has filed timely objections to the R&R. The Court reviews de novo those portions of the R&R to which a specific objection has been made. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Having done so, the Court concludes that Magistrate Judge Morgan correctly analyzed the issues presented and reached the proper result for the proper reasons. While the Court is sympathetic to hardship endured by Plaintiff, her claims are not viable for the reasons stated by the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows: (1) The Magistrate Judge's R&R [DE#23] is accepted and adopted as the findings and conclusions of the Court; (2) Plaintiff's objections to the R&R are overruled; Civil Action No. 10-CV-10503
