("ADM"); (2) plain tiff's 1998 denial of training claims; and (3) plaintiff's Title VII retaliation claims against defendant ADM Milling Co. ("ADM MIlling").

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in Magistrate Judge Foschio's Report and Recom mendation, defendants' motion to dismiss is granted as to: (1) all of plaintiff's claims against defendant ADM; (2) plaintiff's 1998 denial of training claims; and (3) plaintiff's Title VII retaliation claims again st defendant ADM Milling. The motion to dismiss is denied in all other respects.
