ORDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On January 28, 2014, Magistrate Judge Timothy Greeley issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) (Dkt. No.53) recommending that Defendant Granholm’s motion to
dismiss (Dkt. No. 42) be granted and the other Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No.
39) be denied. No objections have been filed, and the deadline for doing so has expired. The Court
has reviewed the matter and concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues and makes a sound
recommendation.
For the foregoing reasons, this Court adopts the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation as the Opinion of this Court.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s January 2014, R&R (Dkt. No.
53) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Granholm’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 42)
is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No.
