This matter is presently before the Court on defendants’ motion for summary

magistrate judge’s analysis and recommendation. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Patti’s June 29, 2017, R&R is hereby
accepted and adopted as the findings and conclusions of the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendants’ motion for summary judgment is
granted in part and denied in part as follows: The motion is granted as to all claims against
defendant Roark and as to the access-to-courts claim against defendant Lamb; the motion is denied
as to the retaliation claims against defendant Lamb.
