MEMORANDUM ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Came on for consideration the report of the United States Magistrate Judge in this action,
this matter having been heretofore referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636.
On February 12, 2026, the Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. #30)
that Plaintiffs John and Shannan Petropoulos’s Motion to Vacate the Appraisal Award (Dkt. #23)
be denied and Defendant Safeco Insurance Company of Indiana’s Motion for Summary Judgment
(Dkt. #25) be granted. On February 25, 2026, the Plaintiffs filed Objections (Dkt. #31) to the
Report.
The Court has conducted a de novo review of the Objections and is of the opinion that the
findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct, and the Objections are without merit
as to the ultimate findings of the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, the Objections (Dkt. #31) are
OVERRULED and the Magistrate Judge’s Report is ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions
of the Court.
