ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the joint Motion to Dismiss filed
by Defendants Equifax, Inc. and Equifax Information Services, LLC [Doc. 43]
and the Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendation [Doc. 56]
regarding the disposition of that motion.
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 Defendants’ motion and to submit a
recommendation for its disposition.
On September 5, 2018, the Magistrate Judge filed a Memorandum and
Recommendation in this case containing conclusions of law in support of a
recommendation regarding the Defendants’ motion. [Doc. 56]. 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 now 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 Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss should be denied.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Memorandum and
Recommendation [Doc. 56] is ACCEPTED, and the joint Motion to Dismiss
filed by Defendants Equifax, Inc. and Equifax Information Services, LLC
[Doc. 43] is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed: September 25, 2018
