UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

LATAVIOUS BEAL #327749,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 1:21-cv-522
v.
Hon. Hala Y. Jarbou
HEIDI WASHINGTON, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________/
ORDER
On October 18, 2022, Magistrate Judge Sally J. Berens issued a Report and
Recommendation (R&R, ECF No. 50) recommending that the Court grant Defendants’ Motion for
Summary Judgment (ECF No. 44) on the grounds that Plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative
remedies prior to filing this action as required by the PLRA and dismiss Beal’s claims against
Defendants without prejudice. The R&R was duly served on the parties. No objections have been
filed, and the deadline for doing so expired on November 15, 2022. On review, the Court
concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues and makes a sound recommendation.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the R&R (ECF No. 50) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the
opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (ECF
No. 44) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court declines to certify that an appeal would not
be in good faith.

Case 1:21-cv-00522-HYJ-SJB ECF No. 51, PageID.347 Filed 11/20/22 Page 2 of 2

A judgment will enter in accordance with this order.
