Presently before the Court is the August 25, 2021 Report and
Recommendation of Judge Lindsay recommending that the motion of defendant for
summary judgment be granted to the extent of dismissing the complaint in its

decision which determined that the District failed to offer a FAPE to T.F. for the
2014-15 school year and that K.F. and J.F. were entitled to compensatory education
services. More than fourteen (14) days have passed since service of the Report and

reviewed the Report and Recommendation for clear error, and finding none, now
concurs in both its reasoning and its result. Accordingly, the Court adopts the
