Magistrate Judge Ivy recommends granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 57) and denying Defendant’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 55). (ECF No. 63). The court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. Neither party has filed timely objections. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v.
