UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
SCOTT JONES,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 11-12134
v.

Hon. Lawrence P. Zatkoff

PRISON HEALTH SERVICES, et al.,

Defendants.
/

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint with the Court alleging that Defendants—
Prison Health Services; Doctors Pragna Pandya, David Sharp, Adam Edelman, Zavit Cohen, Yasir
Zaidi, John Doe 1-20; and the Michigan Department of Corrections— violated his civil rights by
denying or delaying medical care for his alleged cancer [dkt 1]. Defendant Yasir Zaidi (“Zaidi”)
moved for dismissal on the grounds that, inter alia, he is not a state actor [dkt 62]. The matter
currently before the Court is Magistrate Judge Michelson’s Report and Recommendation [dkt 73],
in which the Magistrate Judge recommends granting Zaidi’s motion. Plaintiff has not filed
objections to the Report and Recommendation and the time period within which he must do so has
expired. The Court has thoroughly reviewed the court file, Zaidi’s motion, and the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation. Based on this review, the Court ADOPTS the Report and
Recommendation and enters it as the findings and conclusions of this Court

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Zaidi’s motion to dismiss [dkt 62] is
GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
