________________________________/
OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO DISMISS
WITHOUT PREJUDICE DEFENDANT DAVID BEATY (ECF NO. 177)
On May 9, 2014, Plaintiff commenced this civil rights action against various
defendants pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff’s claims against Defendants arise from
his arrest for an alleged parole violation, the revocation of his parole, and events that
occurred after he was re-paroled in May 2011. The matter has been referred to Magistrate
Judge Stephanie Davis for all pretrial matters.
On September 15, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice
Defendant David Beaty. (ECF No. 177.) On September 23, 2016, Magistrate Judge
Davis issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) in which she recommends that the
1

Court grant Plaintiff’s motion. (ECF No. 180.) At the conclusion of her R&R,
Magistrate Judge Davis informs the parties that they must file any objections to the R&R
within fourteen days. (Id. at Pg ID 2335-26.) No objections have been filed.
The Court has carefully reviewed Magistrate Judge Davis’ R&R and concurs with
her conclusions. The Court therefore adopts Magistrate Judge Davis’ September 23, 2016
R&R.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff=s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 177) is GRANTED
and Defendant David Beaty is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND AS A
PARTY FROM THIS LAWSUIT.
