The Report and Recommendation which thoroughly reviewed the facts and the controlling authorities is, after due consideration, hereby adopted in its entirety and the Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of plaintiffs accordingly.

Counsel for plaintiffs shall serve a copy of this Order on the defendants by regular mail and file proof of such service in the record.

SO ORDERED.
