ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Partial
Disposition submitted by United States Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray. No
objections have been filed. After careful review, 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 Summary Judgment (Doc. 32) is GRANTED IN
PART and DENIED IN PART.
2.
Plaintiff's failure to protect, retaliation, and corrective inaction claims
against Defendants Boykin, Reed, Holstead, Ashcraft, Carter, Burgess, Kelley, May,
and Lay are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE due to a lack of exhaustion.
3.
Plaintiff may PROCEED with his excessive force claim against
Defendant Kelley and his free exercise of religion claim against Defendants Holstead,
Carter, and Railford, those claims having been exhausted.1
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 11th day of December 2013.
