Before me is Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment, which was filed with the Court
on July 18, 2011. Plaintiff filed a Memorandum in Opposition on August 1, 2011, followed by
Defendants’ Reply on August 8, 2011. On August 16, 2011, I heard impassioned oral argument
from both sides outlining their respective positions on the law, the facts, and the nature and
extent of the record. Having thoroughly reviewed the briefs, the record, and the arguments of
counsel, the matter is now ripe for decision.

For the reasons stated in the accompanying

Memorandum Opinion, I will GRANT the Motion for Summary Judgment as to both Defendants
on all counts.
The clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order and the accompanying Opinion to all
counsel of record, and is instructed to remove this case from the docket of this Court.
Entered the 23rd day of August, 2011.
