ORDER

OWEN PANNER, District Judge

On August 24, 2006, Magistrate Judge Cooney filed his Findings and Recommendation (docket # 21), which recommended granting Defendant's motion (# 12) to dismiss Plaintiff's common law wrongful discharge claim because Plaintiff already has other adequate remedies, and striking the prayer for punitive damages because that remedy is not available under Title IX or against a public entity under state law. Plaintiff has filed objections.

The matter is now before me for de novo review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). I find no error.

Conclusion

Magistrate Judge Cooney's Findings and Recommendation (docket # 21) are adopted. Defendant's motion (# 12) to dismiss Plaintiff's common law wrongful discharge claim is granted, and the prayer for punitive damages is stricken.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
