court finds that the plaintiff’s Objections lack merit. The court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s analysis
and recommendations. Therefore, the plaintiff’s Objections are OVERRULED.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to substitute the United States for the “United States VA Administration”
as the only defendant to this action. The defendant’s motion to dismiss (Docket No. 21) is GRANTED, and
this case is hereby DISMISSED.
This order constitutes the judgment in this case.
It is so ORDERED.
