MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on April 15, 2019, recommending that the
plaintiff’s claims under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of
2000 (“RLUIPA”) be dismissed as moot and further recommending that the
defendants’ motion for summary judgment be granted on the plaintiff’s remaining
claims. (Doc. 56). Although the parties were advised of their right to file specific,
written objections within fourteen days, the court has not received any objections.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the magistrate
judge’s report and ACCEPTS the recommendation. The court EXPRESSLY FINDS
that the plaintiff’s claims under RLUIPA are moot; that no genuine issues of material
fact remain; and that the defendants are entitled to judgment in their favor as a matter
of law. Accordingly, the court finds that the defendants’ motions for summary

judgment (docs. 31 and 49) should be granted and those claims dismissed with
prejudice.
The court will enter a Final Judgment.
