Defendants Cyprus Amax Minerals Company, Red Devil, Inc., and

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and the standing Orders of
Designation of this Court, the Honorable Dennis L. Howell, United States
Magistrate Judge, was designated to consider the motions to dismiss and
to submit a recommendation for their disposition.
On May 15, 2014, the Magistrate Judge filed a Memorandum and
Recommendation in this case containing proposed conclusions of law in
support of a recommendation regarding the Defendants’ motions. [Doc.
49].
The parties were advised that any objections to the Magistrate
Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendation were to be filed in writing
within fourteen (14) days of service.
The period within which to file
objections has expired, and no written objections to the Memorandum and
Recommendation have been filed.
After a careful review of the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation,
the Court finds that the proposed conclusions of law are consistent with
current case law. Accordingly, the Court hereby accepts the Magistrate
Judge’s Recommendation that the claims asserted against Defendants
Cyprus Amax Minerals Company and Red Devil, Inc. in Count Four of the
Amended Complaint be dismissed.
For the reasons stated in the Memorandum and Recommendation,
the Court further concludes that Count Four of the Amended Complaint
should be dismissed as to Defendant Georgia-Pacific LLC as well.
ORDER
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Memorandum and
Recommendation [Doc. 49] is ACCEPTED.
