RICHARD SCHELL, District Judge
Came on for consideration the Report of the United States Magistrate Judge in this action, this matter having been heretofore referred to United States Magistrate Judge Don D. Bush pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636. On July 19, 2005, the Report of the Magistrate Judge was entered containing his proposed findings of fact and recommendations that Defendant Collin County Community College District's ("CCCCD") Motion for Summary Judgment be granted with regard to Plaintiff's claims for Sexual Harassment, Violation of the Texas Whistleblower Act, Retaliation, and Due Process Violation, and that such claims be dismissed with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge further recommended the CCCCD's Motion for Summary Judgment be denied with regard to Plaintiff's claims for Retaliatory Discharge and Punitive Damages.
Having received the report of the United States Magistrate Judge, and having made a de novo review of the objections filed by CCCCD, this Court is of the opinion that CCCCD's objections to the Magistrate Judge's ruling on Punitive Damages have merit, but that the remainder of CCCCD's objections are without merit and that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge on all claims other than Punitive Damages are correct. Although CCCCD's Motion for Summary judgment was somewhat lacking in both argument and evidence on the issue of Punitive Damages, CCCCD has, through its objections, directed the Court to sufficient evidence to rule in its favor on this issue. The Court thus adopts the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, in part, as the findings and conclusions of the Court. It is, therefore,
ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that CCCCD's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED as to Plaintiff's claims for Sexual Harassment, Violation of the Texas Whistleblower Act, Retaliation, Due Process Violation, and Punitive Damages, and that such claims are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. It is further
ORDERED that CCCCD's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED as to Plaintiff's claim for Retaliatory Discharge.
