Carlson (Doc. 37), recommending that defendants' motion to dismiss the second amended complaint (Doc. 31) be granted in part and denied in part, and, following an independent review of the record, and noting that Plaintiff filed objections1 to the report (Doc. 39) on June 28, 2013, and the court finding Magistrate Judge Carlson's analysis to be thorough and well-reasoned, and the court finding the objections to be without merit and squarely addressed by Magistrate Judge Carlson's report (Doc. 37), it is hereby ORDERED that:

Defendants' motion to dismiss the second amended complaint (Doc. 31) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part as follows: (a) The motion to dismiss is GRANTED with respect to all claims set forth in Counts II - V and these claims are DISMISSED.

FootNotes


1. Where objections to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation are filed, the court must perform a de novo review of the contested portions of the report. Supinski v. United Parcel Serv., Civ. A. No. 06-0793, 2009 WL 113796, at *3 (M.D. Pa. Jan. 16, 2009) (citing Sample v. Diecks, 885 F.2d 1099, 1106 n. 3 (3d Cir. 1989); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(c)). "In this regard, Local Rule of Court 72.3 requires `written objections which . . . specifically identify the portions of the proposed findings, recommendations or report to which objection is made and the basis for those objections.'" Id. (citing Shields v. Astrue, Civ. A. No. 07-417, 2008 WL 4186951, at *6 (M.D. Pa. Sept. 8, 2008)).
