No. 208) is DENIED, and the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Defendants CoreCivic and Russell Washburn (Doc. No. 176) is GRANTED. The claims against CoreCivic and Russell Washburn are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The remaining Defendants, none of whom have been served, are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
The Clerk is directed to close the file.
It is so ORDERED.
