RODOLFO A. RUIZ II UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon United States Magistrate Judge Jared M. Strauss's Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 121] (“Report”), entered on November 15, 2021. The Report recommends that the Court grant Impleader Defendant's Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 111] (“Motion to Dismiss”). Report at 1.

When a magistrate judge's “disposition” has been properly objected to, district courts must review the disposition de novo. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
