ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

JOHN A. KRONSTADT, District Judge.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the Civil Rights Complaint, all documents submitted by plaintiff and defendant in connection with the Motion for Summary Judgment ("Motion") filed by defendant Deputy Casas in his individual capacity (including defendant's evidentiary objections), and all of the records in the case including the January 2, 2019 Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge ("Report and Recommendation"),1 plaintiff's objections to the Report and Recommendation ("Objections"), and defendant's Reply to the Objections. The Court has further made a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which objection is made. 2

The Objections largely reassert mostly the same arguments plaintiff previously raised, and which the Report and Recommendation properly concludes have no merit. Accordingly, the Court overrules the Objections, and agrees with, approves, accepts and adopts the Report and Recommendation.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT: (1) this action is dismissed without prejudice as against defendant Deputy Casas in his official capacity; (2) defendant's evidentiary objections are overruled; (3) the Motion is granted and summary judgment is granted in favor of defendant Deputy Casas in his individual capacity and against plaintiff; (4) the Clerk shall enter Judgment accordingly; and (5) the Clerk shall serve copies of this Order and the Judgment herein on plaintiff and counsel for defendant.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
