HON. JANET T. NEFF

SHERRY BURT, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER APPROVING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This is a prisoner civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants filed a
Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt 17). The matter was referred to the Magistrate Judge, who
issued a Report and Recommendation on July 20, 2016 (Dkt 32), recommending that this Court
grant in part and deny in part Defendants’ motion. The Report and Recommendation was duly
served on the parties. No objections have been filed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge
(Dkt 32) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt 17)
is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART for the reasons stated in the Report and
Recommendation. Specifically, Plaintiff’s claims, except his claim challenging the decision by
Defendants Sowa, Davis, and Baldwin, on or about May 7, 2015, to release Plaintiff back to the
general population following his conviction for threatening behavior, are dismissed for failure to
exhaust administrative remedies.
