RICARDO NUNN, Plaintiff, v. MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MAY 2 , 2018 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [11]
Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge's May 2, 2018 report and recommendation. The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. No party has filed objections. "[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge's report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter." Hall v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012 WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citation omitted). The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge's recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (Dkt. # 11).
It is ordered that the claims against Defendant Michigan Department of Corrections ("MDOC") are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice, and MDOC is DISMISSED from this action. It is further ordered that all official capacity claims against the individual Defendants are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
