REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Timothy Greeley’s January 9, 2018, Report and

administrative remedies. The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties on
January 9, 2018. No objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge, filed January 9, 2018 (ECF No. 17), is approved and adopted as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No.
13) is GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s remaining claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.1
A separate judgment will enter.

The Court notes that the Report and Recommendation was returned as Plaintiff was discharged or paroled
and failed to leave a forwarding address. (ECF No. 18.) Such failure is itself a violation of W.D. Mich. LCivR 41.1,
justifying a dismissal for failure to prosecute the case.
