MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on April 17, 2017, construing defendant’s
special report as a motion for summary judgment and further recommending that
the motion be granted. Doc. 22. The court advised the parties of their right to file
specific written objections within fourteen days. Id. at 14–15. Davon L. Ellis did
not file any objections within the allotted time.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the
court file, including the Report and Recommendation, the court is of the opinion
that the magistrate judge’s report is due to be ADOPTED, and her
recommendation ACCEPTED. Consequently, defendant’s motion for summary
judgment, doc. 17, is due to be granted, and Ellis’s claims dismissed. The court
will contemporaneously enter an order of final judgment in accordance with the
foregoing.

DONE the 22nd day of May, 2017.
