1. The findings and recommendations filed May 15, 2007, are adopted in full;
2. Petitioner's Rule 56(f) motion (Docs. 185 and 186) is denied;
3. Petitioner's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 189) is denied in its entirety;
4. Respondents' motion for summary judgment (Doc. 176) is granted in part and denied in part without prejudice, as outlined in the May 15, 2007, findings and recommendations; and
5. Claims A, C, D, F, G, H, J, K (to the extent not already dismissed), L, M, N, O, Q, R, and S are denied on the merits.
