I have considered carefully the recommendation, objections, and applicable caselaw, as well as the arguments raised and authorities cited by the parties both in their original briefs and in the objection and response.
The recommendation is detailed and well-reasoned. The magistrate judge's thorough analysis of the issues raised by defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction over them in this forum requires no festooned reiteration by this court.
