UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
CRAIG WALKER a/k/a Sharif Abdu-Raheem,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 15-cv-550-JPG-SCW

KAHALAH A. CLAY, COURTNEY CLICK,
BARB HILL and JACQUELINE WILLIAMS,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (Doc. 27) of
Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams recommending that the Court grant the defendants’ unopposed
motion to dismiss (Doc. 26), which Magistrate Judge Williams construed as a motion for summary
judgment.
The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations of
the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). The Court must review
de novo the portions of the report to which objections are made. Id. “If no objection or only partial
objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v.
Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999).
The Court has received no objection to the Report. The Court has reviewed the entire file and
finds that the Report is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby:


ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 27);



DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to change the defendants’ names on the docket sheet as directed in
footnote 1 of the Report;



GRANTS the defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Doc. 26); and



DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to enter judgment accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
