Opinion
Case No. 17-11855
08-22-2018
PETER MENGEL, Plaintiff, v. JAMES KING, Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On July 31, 2018, Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub issued a report and recommendation that advises the court to grant Defendant's motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff has filed neither a response to Defendant's motion for summary judgment nor objections to the report and recommendation.
With respect to reports and recommendations from magistrate judges, this court "shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The court "may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." Id.
The magistrate judge recommends that the court grant Defendant's motion for summary judgment because Plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Upon review of the record, the court agrees with the magistrate judge's analysis and recommendation.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (Doc. 11) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED as the order of the court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 10) is GRANTED and Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED. Dated: August 22, 2018
