Plaintiffs,

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT

-against- AND RECOMMNEDATION

18-CV-1838 (DRH)(ARL)

RIVERHEAD CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT,

Defendant. -----------------------------------------------------------X

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 entirety and denied to the extent that it seeks to vacate that part of the SRO 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 Recommendation and no objection have been filed.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72, this Court has 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 August 25, 201 Report and Recommendation of Judge Lindsay as if set forth herein. Accordingly,
