ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DOLLY M. GEE, District Judge.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the Third Amended Complaint, the relevant records on file, and the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge.
On June 28, 2018, Plaintiff filed Objections to the Report and Recommendation attaching various unauthenticated exhibits. Dkt. 181. On July 9, 2018, Plaintiff filed an Addendum to his Objections. Dkt. 184. On July 23, 2018, Defendant filed a Response to Plaintiff's Objections. Dkt. 188.
The Court has engaged in de novo review of those portions of the Report to which Plaintiff has objected. The Court finds the exhibits attached to the Objections do not support Plaintiff's Opposition to summary judgment because they are (a) either untimely or duplicative of Plaintiff's submissions in support of his Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, (b) inadmissible lay opinion, and (c) fail to establish causation even if considered on the merits. Therefore, the Court accepts the findings and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that (1) Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED; and (2) Judgment shall be entered DISMISSING this action with prejudice.
