No. 4:13-CV-1593

(Judge Brann)
(Magistrate Judge Carlson)

ORDER
February 20, 2014
The undersigned has given full and independent consideration to the
December 16, 2013 report and recommendation of Chief Magistrate Judge Martin
C. Carlson. ECF No. 16. No objections have been filed.
Because this Court agrees with Chief Judge Carlson’s recommendation that
the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s claim for punitive damages (ECF
No. 4) should be denied at this juncture, the Court will not rehash the sound
reasoning of the Magistrate Judge and will adopt the report and recommendation in
its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.

United States Chief Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson’s December
16, 2013 Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 16) is ADOPTED in
full.

2.

The Defendants Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 4) is DENIED.

BY THE COURT:
s/Matthew W. Brann

United States District Judge
