ORDER

The Magistrate Judge previously entered a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), (Dkt. No. 39), recommending denial of the Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, (Dkt. No. 11), filed by Defendants. Defendants have now filed an Objection to the R&R. (Dkt. No. 40.) Plaintiff AlexSam, Inc. has filed a Response to Defendants’ Objection. (Dkt. No. 41.)

After consideration of the briefing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, the R&R, and Defendants’ Objection to the R&R, the Court concludes that the objections are without sufficient merit. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Payne’s Report and Recommendation and OVERRULES Defendants’ Objections, thereby DENYING the Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 11).

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 8th day of December, 2020.
