Case No. 2:13-CV-246-JRG-RSP

ORDER
Currently before the Court is the Report and Recommendation signed by Magistrate
Judge Roy Payne on May 28, 2014 (Dkt. No. 176) recommending that that the Defendants’
Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 113) be granted with respect to punitive damages.
.

The only issue raised by Defendants in their Objection to the Recommendation was that

the Recommendation only addressed punitive damages, but not the remainder of the Motion to
Dismiss, which was addressed in a separate Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 197).
Plaintiffs have advised the Court that they will not be filing any objections.
Having reviewed the record and finding no meritorious objections, the Recommendation
is adopted. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. 113) is
GRANTED with respect to punitive damages.
SIGNED this 19th day of December, 2011.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 5th day of June, 2014.
