ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
GEORGE C. HANKS, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On June 2, 2022, all pretrials matter in this case were referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Dkt. 46. Judge Edison filed a Memorandum and Recommendation on July 7, 2023, recommending that Plaintiff's First Amended Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Declaratory Relief Claims (Dkt. 57) be denied, and Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 58) be granted. Dkt. 64.
On July 21, 2023, Plaintiff filed its objections. Dkt. 65. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is required to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [magistrate judge's] report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection [has been] made.” After conducting this de novo review, the Court may “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” Id.; see also FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3).
The Court has carefully considered the objections, the Memorandum and Recommendation, the pleadings, and the record. The Court ACCEPTS Judge Edison's Memorandum and Recommendation and ADOPTS it as the opinion of the Court. It is therefore ORDERED that:
(1) Judge Edison's Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 64) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court;
(2) Plaintiff's First Amended Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Declaratory Relief Claims (Dkt. 57) is DENIED; and
(3) Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 58) is GRANTED.
It is so ORDERED.
