Having reviewed the record, I find no clear error. I therefore adopt the Report and
Recommendation, in its entirety, as the opinion of the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1).
Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to strike defendants Zevest Realty, LLC and Esther
Goldstein’s answer and to impose monetary sanctions, ECF No. 32, is denied.
SO ORDERED.
