A magistrate judge thoroughly reviewed the facts and recommended the Defendants' motion be granted. The district court adopted the recommendation over Plaintiff's objection. Plaintiff appeals. Our jurisdicton arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Hayes v. Marriott, 70 F.3d 1144, 1146 (10th Cir. 1995), and affirm.
