TALLAHASSEE DIVISION
JIMMIE SAPP,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 4:12cv137-SPM/CAS

JONATHAN COLLINS,
and SERGEANT LEWIS,
Defendants.
________________________/
ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court for consideration of the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation (doc.20) dated October 15, 2012.
Defendants filed an objection (doc 21) pursuant to Title 28, United States Code,
Section 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72. Upon review, I have
determined that the report and recommendation should be adopted.
The report and recommendation contains a complete and accurate
analysis of the evidence and argument presented to the magistrate judge
regarding exhaustion of administrative remedies. This Court declines to consider
the additional argument and the affidavits submitted by Defendants in their
objection because they were not presented to the magistrate judge. See Williams

ADOPTED and incorporated by reference in this order.
