(8) Plaintiff's claims against the John Doe Defendants are DISMISSED with prejudice;



(9) Plaintiff's claims against Defendants Whipple, Jones, Basket and Cusak are DISMISSED without prejudice, based on the fact that those Defendants were not served with the summons and complaint within sixty days of the filing of Plaintiff's complaint; and
