28 U.S.C. § 636

(b); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). A district court need not consider “[f]rivolous, conclusive, or general objections.” Battle v. U.S. Parole Comm’n,

834 F.2d 419, 421

(5th Cir. 1987) (quoting Nettles v. Wainwright,

677 F.2d 404

, 410 n.8 (5th Cir. 1982) (en banc), overruled on other grounds by Douglass v. United States Auto. Ass’n,

79 F.3d 1415

(5th Cir. 1996)). Plaintiff filed objections on May 3, 2022. ECF No. 56. The Court held a hearing discussing the objections on May 4, 2022. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the motions for judgment on the record, summary judgment, and motions to re-urge, the responses, the report and recommendation, the objections to the report and recommendation, arguments of counsel, and the applicable laws. After that thorough review, the Court is persuaded that the Magistrate Judge’s

findings and recommendation should be adopted. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Manske, ECF No. 52, is ADOPTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s objections are OVERRULED.
