ORDER This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) filed by the Magistrate Judge on March 11, 2024 (Doc. 21). Proper notice has been given to the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), including notice that the parties may forfeit rights on appeal if they failed to file objections to the R&R in a timely manner.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the R&R (Doc. 21) of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ADOPTED. Consistent with the recommendation by the Magistrate Judge, Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration (Doc. 14) is GRANTED and this case is DISMISSED without prejudice from the docket of this Court. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 18) is DENIED as moot. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/Michael R. Barrett 1 Michael R. Barrett, Judge United States District Court 2
