ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS -- On June 21, 2013, Chief Magistrate Judge Gold issued his Report and Recommendation ("R&R"), recommending that the Court grant defendants' motions for summary judgment and dismiss the action. (See R&R, Dkt. Entry No. 193.) Additionally, the magistrate judge denied Plaintiffs' motion to unseal certain documents filed in connection with these motions. Plaintiffs filed objections to the R&R and Defendants opposed. Upon due considerat ion, the Court hereby adopts the characteristically thorough, thoughtful and well-reasoned R&R of Chief Magistrate Judge Gold in its entirety. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the ATTACHED WRITTEN SUMMARY ORDER, plaintiffs' objections are overruled, defendants' motions for summary judgment are granted, the magistrate judge's order denying the unsealing of certain documents is affirmed and this action is DISMISSED. Defendants are directed to serve a copy of this Electroni c Order and the Attached Written Summary Order to pro se plaintiffs and immediately thereafter file proof of such service via ECF. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 3/26/2014. (Irizarry, Dora)
