ARTHUR ARNDT, Plaintiff, v. RAYMOND BOOKER and CHARLES SINCLAIR, Defendants.
Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING DEFENDANT SINCLAIR'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
On November 25, 2013, Plaintiff Arthur Arndt, a prisoner in the custody of the Michigan Department of Corrections, filed this pro se prisoner's civil rights action against Defendants Raymond Booker and Charles Sinclair, alleging that Defendants violated the Eighth Amendment by acting in deliberate indifference to Plaintiff's serious medical needs. Defendant Sinclair filed a motion for summary judgment, which was referred to Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen in accordance with the authority granted by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B).
On November 7, 2014, Magistrate Judge Whalen issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court grant Defendant Sinclair's unopposed summary judgment motion. At the conclusion of his R&R, Magistrate Judge Whalen informed the parties that any objections to the R&R must be filed within fourteen days and that the failure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right of appeal. Neither party filed objections.
Having reviewed the Complaint, Defendant Sinclair's Motion, and the R&R, the Court concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Whalen.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Whalen's R&R is ADOPTED, Defendant Charles Sinclair's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, and Defendant Charles Sinclair is DISMISSED from this action. Dated: December 11, 2014
