The judge may also receive further evidence or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions. Id. Having reviewed the record de novo and having considered the issues raised in the Plaintiff s objections, the Court has determined to accept and adopt the recommendation of Magistrate Judge Baxter for the reasons stated in the Report-Recommendation. Accordingly, Defendant s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED and Plaintiff s Complaint is DISMISSED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:September 29, 2011 -2-
