ORDER
Winnett has objected to Magistrate Judge Beth Deere's recommendation,

NQ 8, that the Court dismiss his due process claims without prejudice. On de
novo review,

FED.

R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3), the Court adopts Judge Deere's

recommendation as its own opinion. Winnett agrees with Judge Deere's
recommendation that the Court dismiss the official-capacity claims, and
helpfully moves to clarify that he is suing Earl and Taylor in their individual
capacities only. That motion, NQ 18-1, is granted. The case will go forward
against Earl and Taylor individually on Winnett's retaliation claim.

So Ordered.
