SILVA HARAPETI, Plaintiff, v. CBS TELEVISION STATIONS INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
KATHLEEN M. WILLIAMS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS MATTER is before the Court on U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Fleischer Louis's Report and Recommendation (“the Report”) (DE 150) that the Court grant the Motion for Summary Judgment (“the Motion”) filed by Defendants CBS Television Stations Inc., CBS Broadcasting, Inc., and CBS Corporation (collectively, “Defendants”). (DE 95.) In the Report, Judge Louis concludes that “the evidence advanced by Plaintiff in opposition to the [M]otion falls short of establishing a prima facie case on any of her claims challenged on the Motion, [and thus] recommends that Defendants' Motion . . . is due to be granted.” (DE 150 at 6.) Plaintiff Silva Harapeti (“Plaintiff”) filed objections to the Report and Defendants responded. (DE 153; DE 154.) Upon an independent review of the Report, Plaintiff's objections, Defendants' response, the underlying record, and applicable case law, the Court agrees with Judge Louis's conclusions.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The conclusions in the Report (DE 150) are AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED.
2. Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 95) is GRANTED.
3. This action is DISMISSED.
4. Defendants' Motion in Limine (DE 116), Plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate Cases (DE 132), Defendants' Motion for Leave to File a Sur-Reply to Plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate Cases (DE 146), and any other pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT.
5. All deadlines, hearings, and/or trial settings are CANCELED.
6. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case.
7. An order of final judgment will follow separately.
DONE AND ORDERED.
