ORDER
After making an independent review of the pleadings, files, and records in this case, and the February 18, 2003 findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the magistrate judge, and having considered plaintiff's March 28, 2003 objections, the court concludes that the magistrate judge's conclusions and recommendation are correct. It is therefore ordered that the conclusions and recommendation of the magistrate judge, including the part of the recommendation that relates to evidentiary matters, are adopted, and defendants Scott Peters, Michael D. Scott, and City of Coppell's April 17, 2002 motion for summary judgment is granted.
Because the court is deciding a motion for summary judgment, it has neither adopted nor made findings of fact.
SO ORDERED.
JUDGMENT
For the reasons set out in orders filed August 28, 2001 and today, it is ordered and adjudged that plaintiff's actions against defendants Scott Peters, Michael D. Scott, and City of Coppell are dismissed with prejudice.These defendants' taxable costs of court, as calculated by the clerk of court, are assessed against plaintiff.
Because this judgment dismisses the remaining claims and defendants in this case, this is a final judgment, and the clerk of court shall terminate this action statistically.
