MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
Pending before the Court is the Memorandum and Recommendation of United

Accordingly, the Court reviews the Memorandum and Recommendation for plain error
on the face of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also, FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3).
Based on the pleadings, the record and the applicable law, the Court finds that
there is no plain error apparent from the face of the record. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:

(1)

Judge Edison’s Memorandum and Recommendation is APPROVED AND
ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court;

(2)

Defendant UTMB’s Partial Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. 22) is GRANTED;
and

(3)

Plaintiff Vickie Walker’s Title VII retaliation claim is DISMISSED.

It is so ORDERED.
