OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MAY 3, 2024 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 59)
F. KAY BEHM, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Currently before the court is Magistrate Judge Kimberly G. Altman's May 3, 2024 Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 59). Magistrate Judge Altman recommends granting in part and denying in part Defendants' motion for summary judgment based on exhaustion and denying Plaintiff's motion for restraining order and sanctions. (ECF Nos. 39, 54). The court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. Neither party has filed objections. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge's report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v. Rawal, 2012 WL 3639070 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985)). The court nevertheless agrees with the Magistrate Judge's recommended disposition. Therefore, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 59), GRANTS in part and DENIES in part Defendants' motion for summary judgment based on exhaustion (ECF No. 39), DISMISSES Defendant Parsons from this case, and DENIES Plaintiff's motion for a restraining order and sanctions (ECF No. 54).
SO ORDERED.
