Came on for consideration the reports of the United States Magistrate Judge in this action,
this matter having been heretofore referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636.
On December 7, 2017, the reports of the Magistrate Judge (Dkts. #31, #32) were entered containing
proposed findings of fact and recommendations that the Parties’ settlement be approved, that the
Application to Establish the C.C. Trust, and unopposed Application for Payment of Fees and
Expenses of Guardian Ad Litem be granted, and that a Decree be entered creating the C.C. Trust.
Having received the reports of the Magistrate Judge, and any objection thereto having been
waived, and having further considered the Application to Establish the C.C. Trust and Application
for Payment of Fees and Expenses of Guardian Ad Litem, as well as the evidence entered into the
record at the hearing on November 28, 2017, the Court is of the opinion that the findings and
conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and hereby adopts the Magistrate Judge’s reports
as the findings and conclusions of the Court.
