PER CURIAM:* Plaintiff John Page sued the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) under Title VII arguing that he was discriminated against on the basis of his age and in retaliation for engaging in protected conduct.

R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. 19-page Memorandum and Recommendation proposing that the district court grant the VA’s motion for summary judgment on all grounds. Page filed objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation and on July 23, the district court adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation in full. Page now appeals. After having carefully reviewed the briefs, record excerpts and relevant portions of the record itself, we agree with the district court that the magistrate judge’s recommendation properly addresses the legal and factual issues raised by Page. For the reasons stated by the magistrate judge and adopted by the district court, we affirm the decision of the district court granting summary judgment in favor the VA. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 2
