ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE GRAND’S
FEBRUARY 6, 2015 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter came before the court on Defendants' February 13, 2015 objections to Magistrate
Judge David Grand's February 6, 2015 Report and Recommendation.
The court, pursuant to Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(B), and LR 72.1(E.D. Mich. March 1, 2010), has reviewed Magistrate Judge Grand's
report and recommendation as well as Defendants' objections. After conducting a de novo review,
the court accepts the magistrate judge's report and recommendation as the court's findings and
conclusions. It is noted that the report and recommendation included defendant Corizon of
Michigan, formerly known as Prison Health Services, Inc., in its designation of "Corizon
Defendants." Therefore, Magistrate Judge Grand's recommendation applies to that defendant as
well.
It is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Grand’s February 6, 2013 report and
recommendation is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Defendants' June 16, 2015 motion to dismiss portions of
Plaintiff's amended complaint is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.

Date: March 30, 2015

s/John Corbett O'Meara
United States District Judge

I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon counsel of record on
this date, March 30, 2015, using the ECF system.
