ORDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On January 28, 2014, Magistrate Judge Timothy P. Greeley issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) (Dkt. No. 23) recommending that Defendants’ motion for
summary judgment (Dkt. No. 14) be granted because Plaintiff failed to exhaust available
administrative remedies. 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 Magistrate Judge’s January 28, 2014, R&R
(Dkt. No. 23) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt.
No. 14) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED in its
entirety.
IT IS FURTHER CERTIFIED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) and Fed. R. App.
P. 24(a)(3) that an appeal of this action would not be in good faith.

Dated: February 19, 2014
