On April 22, 2009, the Honorable Henry Pitman, United States Magistrate Judge, issued a Report and Recommendation ("Report") in the above-captioned matter recommending that the Court grant the motion of defendants the Federal Defenders of New York, Inc. (the "Federal Defenders") and staff attorney Michael Weil to dismiss all claims against them pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).

Accordingly, the Court hereby adopts the Report, and, for the reasons stated therein, grants the motion of Weil and the Federal Defenders in its entirety. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close entry number 6 on the docket for this case.

SO ORDERED.
