Opinion

Civil Action 4:18-cv-00792-P

06-08-2021

JENIFER LYNE KNIGHTON, Plaintiff, v. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON, et al., Defendants.


ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

MARK T. PITTMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.

The United States Magistrate Judge made Findings, Conclusions, and a Recommendation in this case. ECF No. 103. Fourteen days later, Plaintiff Jenifer Lyne Knighton filed Objections to the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge. ECF No. 108. Knighton's objections merely restate arguments presented to the Magistrate Judge and make unsupported factual assertions. Having considered these arguments and objections, the Court finds that they are frivolous and need not be considered in any further detail. See Nettles v. Wainwright, 677 F.2d 404, 410 n. 8 (5th Cir. Unit B 1982) (en banc) (“Frivolous, conclusive or general objections need not be considered by the district court.”). Therefore, Knighton's objections are OVERRULED.

The District Judge also reviewed the proposed Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation for plain error. Finding none, the undersigned District Judge believes that the Findings and Conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct, and they are accepted as the Findings and Conclusions of the Court.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Defendants' motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 88) is GRANTED. Accordingly, Plaintiffs claims are DISMISSED with prejudice.

SO ORDERED.
