Bryant v. Silverman et al

Filing 206

OPINION & ORDER ADOPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION for 204 Report and Recommendations. The majority of Bryant's objections are not to the R&R, but instead to the Order Magistrate Judge Pitman issued concurrently with the R&R which sets a de adline for pretrial submissions. Dkt. 203. Since that Order is not before the Court, those objections are irrelevant to the Court's decision here to adopt or reject the R&R. Bryant's sole remaining objection is to R&R's Background S ection which states that the parties engaged in "negotiation." R&R at 3. According to Bryant, "there was no negotiation" because "Defendant Monaghan is not negotiable." Dkt. 205 at 3. Since the R&R does not rely on thi s fact in its legal analysis (ultimately resolved in Bryant's favor), the objection is immaterial. The Court reviews the remainder of the R&R for clear error. Finding none, the Court adopts the R&R. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motions at Dkts. 185 and 191. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A.
