ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
GEORGE C.HANKS,JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On October 19, 2021, this case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison for all pretrial matters under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Dkt. 204. Judge Edison filed a Memorandum and Recommendation on August 30, 2022, recommending that Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's § 10(b) Supplemental Class Action Complaint (Dkt. 222) be GRANTED. Dkt. 265
On September 20, 2022, Lead Plaintiff Nova Scotia Health Employees' Pension Plan filed its Objections. Dkt. 267. 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. 265) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and
(2) Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's § 10(b) Supplemental Class Action Complaint (Dkt. 222) is GRANTED.
It is so ORDERED.
