MEMORANDUM ORDER ADOPTING ON SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and the Local Rules for the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Appendix B, the Court referred this proceeding to United States Magistrate Judge Keith F. Giblin for the entry of findings of fact and recommended decisions on pretrial case-dispositive motions. Pending before the Court is Defendant Allstate Texas Lloyd's Motion for Summary Judgment (#11). On April 5, 2006, Judge Giblin issued his Report and Recommendation (#16) on the motion for summary judgment. He recommended that the Court grant the defendant's motion for summary judgment, dismiss the plaintiffs' claims with prejudice and enter judgment for Defendant Allstate Texas Lloyds on all of the plaintiff's claims. The plaintiffs objected to Judge Giblin's report (#17).
After conducting a de novo review of the plaintiffs' specific objections and the record, the Court agrees with the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72. The Court overrules the plaintiffs' objections to the report, ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation on Motion for Summary Judgment (#16), and incorporates the magistrate judge's findings in support of this memorandum order.
The Court further ORDERS that Defendant Allstate Texas Lloyd's Motion for Summary Judgment (#11) is GRANTED. The plaintiffs' claims are DISMISSED with prejudice and summary judgment is entered in favor of the defendant. The Court will enter final judgment separately.
