ORDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On February 21, 2012, Magistrate Judge Timothy P. Greeley issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that Defendant MDOC Chief Physician Dr.
Jeffrey Stieve’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 19) be granted, and that Plaintiff’s
claims against Defendant Stieve be dismissed. (Dkt. No. 29, R&R.) The R&R was duly
served on the parties. No objections have been filed, and the deadline for doing so has
expired. The Court has reviewed the matter and concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes
the issues and makes a sound recommendation. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the February 21, 2012, R&R (Dkt. No. 29) is
APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Stieve’s motion for summary judgment
(Dkt. No. 19) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Stieve are
DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to exhaust grievance remedies.

Dated: March 14, 2012
