Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds

MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S MAY 2, 2018
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [11]
Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s May 2, 2018 report and
recommendation. The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record
and the pleadings. No party has filed objections. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate
judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall
v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012 WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citation omitted).
The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s recommendation. The Court
therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation (Dkt.
# 11).
It is ordered that the claims against Defendant Michigan Department of Corrections
("MDOC") are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice, and MDOC is DISMISSED from this
action. It is further ordered that all official capacity claims against the individual Defendants
are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice.

SO ORDERED.
