2. Defendants' motion for summary judgment for failure to exhaust administrative remedies, filed on August 15, 2014, is GRANTED;



3. Plaintiff's retaliation claim against Defendants Adams, Allison and Junious is DISMISSED without prejudice based on a failure to exhaust administrative remedies;

5. This action shall proceed on Plaintiff's claim against Defendant Denny for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment; and



6. This matter is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings consistent with this order.
