ROSILYN JINDAL, et. al., Defendants. / ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S DECEMBER 01, 2020 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [38] Pending before the Court is the magistrate judge’s December 01, 2020 report and recommendation. (ECF No. 38.) The magistrate judge recommends that the Court grant in part and deny in part Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and to dismiss (ECF No. 30). The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendant Crisenbery is DISMISSED from this action. All other Defendants remain a party to this dispute in accordance with the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:19-cv-13207-NGE-PTM ECF No. 39, PageID.466 Filed 12/16/20 Page 2 of 2 SO ORDERED. s/Nancy G.
