MCSHANE, Judge

ORDER :

Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin filed a Findings and Recommendation (ECF No. 61), and the matter is now before this court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Plaintiff filed objections to the report. Accordingly, I have reviewed the file of this case de novo. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(c); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9^th Cir. 1981). I find no error and conclude the report is correct.

Magistrate Judge Coffin's Findings and Recommendation (ECF No. 61) is adopted in full. Plaintiff's motion for additional discovery (ECF No. 54) is DENIED. DOT's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 48) is GRANTED. IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 4th day of December, 2018.
