MEMORANDUM ORDER
This case is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation filed by Chief Magistrate Judge Lenihan (ECF No. 32) recommending that Petitioner's Motion to Vacate Order granting Respondents' Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction and adopting Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 29) be denied. The parties were served with the Report and Recommendation and informed that they had until March 15, 2013, to file written objections. Petitioner filed Objections to the Report and Recommendation on March 6, 2013. (ECF No. 34.) Petitioner's Objections, however, do not undermine the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. As such, after de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation, and the Objections thereto, the following order is entered.
AND NOW, this 7th day of March, 2013,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion to Vacate Order granting Respondents' Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction and adopting Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 29) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a Certificate of Appealability is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 32) dated February 26, 2013, is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 4(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Petitioner has thirty (30) days to file a notice of appeal as provided by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
