DECISION AND ORDER This matter comes before the Court following a Report-Recommendation filed on March 17, 2010 by the Honorable Randolph F.

It is the duty of this Court to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). "A [district] judge . . . may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." Id. Where, however, an objecting "`party makes only conclusory or general objections, or simply reiterates his original arguments, the Court reviews the Report and Recommendation only for clear error.'" Farid v. Bouey, 554 F. Supp. 2d 301, 307 (N.D.N.Y. 2008) (quoting McAllan v. Von Essen, 517 F. Supp. 2d 672, 679 (S.D.N.Y. 2007) (citations and quotations omitted)). This Court has considered the Objections and has undertaken a de novo review of the record and has determined that the Report-Recommendation should be approved for the reasons stated therein. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED, that the Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 99) is APPROVED and ADOPTED in its ENTIRETY; and it is further ORDERED, that Defendants' Motion to dismiss each of the Plaintiff's respective Complaints is GRANTED; and it is further ORDERED, that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order on all parties. IT IS SO ORDERED.
