ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

D. BROCK HORNBY, United States District Judge

The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court on March 13, 2003, with copies to counsel, his Memorandum Decision on Defendants' Motion to Substitute and Plaintiff's Motion to Amend Complaint and Recommended Decision on Defendants' Motions to Dismiss and for Summary Judgment. The time within which to file objections expired on March 31, 2003, and no objections have been filed. The Magistrate Judge notified the parties that failure to object would waive their right to de novo review and appeal.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ADOPTED. The defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED except as to the claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress set forth in Count II of the Amended Complaint. The motion for summary judgment on that claim is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
