Before the Court is a motion for summary judgment filed by defendants Brandon Payne, Nathan Root, James Sims, Joshua Curtis, and Jeffrey Ruhl. (ECF No. 54). Plaintiff Cedric Bell filed a response, (ECF No. 68), and defendants filed a reply. (ECF No. 78). Magistrate Judge Anthony P.

(ECF No. 129). Bell has not filed an objection, and the time to do so has passed.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Patti's September 13, 2022, report and recommendation (ECF No. 123) is hereby accepted and adopted as the findings and conclusions of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants Payne, Root, Sims, Curtis, and Ruhl (ECF No. 54) is GRANTED. All remaining claims against these defendants are dismissed.
