CHRISTOPHER MCDANIEL, Plaintiff, v. FNU STEWART and HAYNIE BRADLEY, Defendants.
OPINION AND ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 21) AND GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (ECF NO. 16.)
HONORABLE LINDA V. PARKER JUDGE
Plaintiff commenced this civil rights action against Defendants on April 20, 2023. On September 28, 2023, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. (ECF No. 16.) The matter has been assigned to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford for all pretrial proceedings, including a hearing and determination of all non-dispositive matters pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and/or a report and recommendation on all dispositive matters pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (ECF No. 17.)
On February 29, 2024, Magistrate Judge Stafford issued a report and recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court grant Defendants' motion. (ECF No. 21.) At the conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Stafford advises the parties that they may object to and seek review of the R&R within fourteen days of service upon them. Magistrate Judge Stafford further specifically advises the parties that “[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right to appeal.” (Id.) Neither party filed objections to the R&R.
The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Stafford. The Court therefore adopts the R&R.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendants' motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 16) is GRANTED.
