Before the Court for consideration is the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 227) of the Honorable Maximiliano D. Couvillier, III, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on November 24, 2025. A district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Local Rule IB 3-2(a).
