Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of the

Upon de novo review of the record, the Court agrees with 
                     
1 The order entered on September 29, 2016, inadvertently omitted the pro se 
appearance of Chris Carty in the “Appearances” section of the order. That 
oversight is addressed in this amended order.
