Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney. After a review of those proposed findings and

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc.
No. 15) is GRANTED, and this case is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. An appropriate Judgment shall accompany this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of March, 2013

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

On March 5, 2013, Plaintiff filed a “Motion to Reopen Case,” stating that he attempted to
exhaust his administrative remedies and that Defendants failed to process his grievances. In support
of his motion, Plaintiff submits copies of grievances dated “2012.” Plaintiff states that he filed the
grievances, but “Defendants” refused to process them. Plaintiff provides no additional details
regarding Defendants’ purported refusal to process his grievances. Furthermore, the documents
presented do not contain a specific date, nor do they contain information confirming that they were
actually submitted by Plaintiff and received by the proper prison official. The Court finds that the
documents submitted are insufficient to rebut Defendants’ evidence that Plaintiff failed to exhaust
his administrative remedies.
