ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION (DOC. #33) GRANTING DEFENDANTS
JAMES ROTH’S, FREDEANE ARTIS’S, AND JEREMY HOWARD’S
(THE MDOC DEFENDANTS) MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (DOC. #11)
Plaintiff filed this action alleging wrongdoing related to his placement in
administrative segregation. All pretrial matters were referred to the magistrate judge for a
report and recommendation. (Doc. #8). The MDOC defendants, James Roth, Fredeane
Artis, and Jeremy Howard, filed a motion for summary judgment (Doc. #11). On January
20, 2016, Magistrate Judge Steven Whalen issued a report and recommendation that
recommends granting the MDOC defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Doc. #33).
The magistrate judge specifically stated that any objections to his report were to be
filed within 14 days of service, and that failure to file such objections constituted a waiver
of any further right to appeal. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985). Plaintiff has
not objected to the report and recommendation.
The court has reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation. Finding that report and recommendation to be well-reasoned, the court
-1-

hereby ACCEPTS the result recommended therein. Accordingly, the MDOC defendants’
motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. The claims against the MDOC defendants
are DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
