Currently pending before the court in connection with this matter, which is before me on consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), is a motion brought by the defendant seeking the entry of summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's claims, and additionally requesting dismissal of plaintiff's claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for failure to state a *2 cause of action upon which relief may be granted.

Based upon the parties' written and oral submissions and the court's bench decision, which is incorporated herein by reference, it is hereby
ORDERED, that defendant's motion (Dkt. No. 42) be and hereby is GRANTED, except as to defendant's application for an award of costs and attorney's fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1988 and § 2000e-5(k), which is DENIED; and it is further
