MEMORANDUM ORDER
We have considered the entire Report and Recommendation in this matter and find it to be an extraordinarily well put together document. We have also considered the arguments presented by the plaintiff and its objections to that Report and Recommendation. As to those objections we conclude: (1) that several of them are sufficiently plausible to warrant discussion; but (2) we would ultimately reject them. However, we find that such undertaking is not necessary because of Magistrate Judge Ellis' final recommendation that we exercise our discretion by dismissing the third amended complaint on the ground of forum non conveniens. Having considered plaintiff's arguments in opposition to such an exercise of discretion, we find that the reasons advanced by Magistrate Judge Ellis are wholly valid and the third amended complaint should be, and it is, dismissed.
SO ORDERED.
