ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Partial Disposition
submitted by United States Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray and the filed objections. After carefully
considering these documents and making a de novo review of the record in this case, the Court
concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommended Partial Disposition should be, and hereby
are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment is GRANTED as to plaintiff’s
failure to protect claims against defendants Hobbs, May, Lay, Warner, and Tate; and DENIED in all
other respects. Document #24.
2.
Defendants Hobbs, May, Lay, Warner, and Tate are DISMISSED, WITHOUT
PREJUDICE, because plaintiff has failed to properly exhaust his administrative remedies against
them.
3.
Plaintiff may PROCEED with his failure to protect, excessive force, equal protection,
and cruel and unusual punishment claims against defendants Walker and Rayner.
4.
The Court CERTIFIES, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma
pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
DATED this 30th day of September, 2013.
