ORDER

Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
(Samsung) previously filed a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim (Dkt. No. 40.)
Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 78), recommending
denial of Samsung’s Motion to Dismiss. Samsung has now filed Objections (Dkt. No. 79.)

.

After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on the Motion to Dismiss, the Report

and Recommendation, and the briefing on Samsung’s Objections, the Court agrees with the
reasoning provided within the Report and Recommendation and concludes that the Objections fail
to show that the Report and Recommendation was erroneous. Consequently, the Court
OVERRULES Samsung’s Objections and ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and orders
that the Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 40) is DENIED.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 26th day of March, 2024.
