This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of the Honorable

17 been filed. Having thoroughly considered the Plaintiff’s complaint, the parties’ briefing, the
18 exhibits filed in support and opposition thereto, and the balance of the record, the Court finds
19 oral argument unnecessary and hereby ORDERS as follows:
