VENODHAR R. JULAPALLI, Plaintiff. v. MARC L. BOOM, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S AMENDED MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
GEORGE C. HANKS, JR., UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On January 22, 2024, Defendants' Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. 18) was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Dkt. 26. Judge Edison filed an Amended Memorandum and Recommendation on May 31, 2024, recommending that Defendants' Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. 18) be GRANTED. See Dkt. 33.
On June 3, 2024, Plaintiff filed his Objections. 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 Amended Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 33) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and
(2) Defendants' Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. 18) is GRANTED.
It is so ORDERED.
