Accordingly,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's November 20, 2013 Report and Recommendation (docket #12) is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R & R, that Plaintiff's March 29, 2013 motion for summary judgment (docket #8) is DENIED, and that Defendant's July 1, 2013 motion for summary judgment (docket #11) is GRANTED.
