ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Document 13)
On April 23, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations that Plaintiff's Motion to Strike Affirmative Defenses be GRANTED. The Findings and Recommendations were served on all parties appearing in the action and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within fourteen (14) days of the date of service of the order. No objections were filed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Findings and Recommendations issued April 23, 2012, are ADOPTED IN FULL;
2. Plaintiff's Motion to Strike Affirmative Defenses is GRANTED; and
3. Affirmative Defenses One through Fourteen are STRICKEN from Defendant's February 9, 2012, Answer.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
