Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The findings and recommendations filed March 6, 2013, are adopted in full;
2. Defendants' motion to dismiss (ECF No. 29) is granted in part and denied in part, as follows:
A. Defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies is granted as to defendants Smith, Heatley, Galloway and Todd only and these defendants are dismissed;
