VALERIE REISS, Plaintiff. v. TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
GEORGE C. HANKS, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On January 11, 2023, Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 44) was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Dkt. 55. Judge Edison filed a Memorandum and Recommendation on August 9, 2023, recommending that Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 44) be GRANTED. See Dkt. 60.
On August 23, 2023, Plaintiff Valerie Reiss filed her 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 Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 60) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and
(2) Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 44) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
