ORDER
BEATY, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on a Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge
[Doc. #24] recommending that Defendant Office of Personnel Management’s (“OPM”) Motion
to Dismiss [Doc. #14] be granted. The Recommendation was filed on October 22, 2014, and
notice was served on the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). On November 5, 2014, Plaintiff
filed timely Objections to the Recommendation [Doc. #26], to which Defendant OPM responded.
The Court has now reviewed de novo the Objections and the portions of the Recommendation to
which objection was made, and finds that the Objections do not change the substance of the
United States Magistrate Judge’s ruling. The Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation [Doc. #24] is
therefore affirmed and adopted.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant OPM’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. #14]
be GRANTED.
This, the 15th day of December, 2014.

United States District Judge
