JACKIE CUNNINGHAM, Individually and on Behalf of Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiff. v. HAMILTON-RYKER IT SOLUTIONS, LLC, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
JEFFREY VINCENT BROWN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On November 2, 2021, all dispositive and non-dispositive pretrial matters in this case were referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and (B). See Dkt. 10. Judge Edison filed a memorandum and recommendation on February 16, 2022, (Dkt. 22) recommending that Hamilton-Ryker IT Solutions, LLC's (“HR-IT”) motion to dismiss (Dkt. 15) be denied.
On March 2, 2022, HR-IT timely filed its objections to the memorandum and recommendation. See Dkt. 28. 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. 22) is approved and adopted in its entirety as the holding of the court; and
(2) HR-IT's motion to dismiss (Dkt. 15) is denied.
