ORDER

GLEN WILLIAMS, Senior District Judge

This case was referred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) to the Honorable Pamela Meade Sargent, United States Magistrate Judge. The magistrate judge filed a report recommending that this court deny General Motors Corporation's, ("GM"), motions in limine to exclude the expert opinions of Smith's treating physicians, (Docket Items Nos. 38 and 43), grant GM's Motion to limit Charles E. Benedict, Ph.D., ("Benedict"), Smith's engineering expert, to the opinions disclosed in his Rule 26(a)(2)(B) report, (Docket Item No. 36), grant GM's motion in limine to exclude the expert opinions of Benedict only insofar as to exclude any opinions as to medical causation, (Docket Item No. 40), and grant GM's motion for summary judgment, (Docket Item No. 32). (Report and Recommendation at 18.) Objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed, and this court, after oral argument and upon de novo review of the record, is of the opinion that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation shall be adopted. It is accordingly,
