(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,

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

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

(5th Cir. 1996)). Plaintiff filed objections on August 8, 2023. ECF No. 33. And Defendant filed a response on August 22, 2023. ECF No. 34. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the motion to dismiss, the responses, the report and recommendation, the objection to the report and recommendation, 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 Lane, ECF No. 32, is ADOPTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Plaintiff's objections are OVERRULED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Root Insurance Company’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Class Action Complaint (ECF No. 15) is GRANTED and the Complaint is DISMISSED with PREJUDICE. IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Request for Leave to Amend her Complaint is DENIED.
