CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:16CV534TSL-RHW

BILLY SOLLIE, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

This cause is before the court on the report and
recommendation of Magistrate Judge Robert H. Walker entered on
April 21, 2017, recommending that defendant Cedric Blanks be
dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to accomplish service of
process.

Plaintiff has filed an objection.

The objection,

however, does not address service of process, but instead,
addresses his alleged exhaustion of administrative remedies.
Having reviewed the report and recommendation and plaintiff’s
objection, the court concludes that the objection is overruled and
hereby adopts, as its own opinion, the magistrate judge’s report
and recommendation.
Based on the foregoing, it is ordered that the report
and recommendation of United States Magistrate Robert H. Walker
entered on April 21, 2017, be, and the same is hereby, adopted as
the finding of this court.

Accordingly, it is further ordered

that defendant Cedric Blanks is dismissed from this action.
SO ORDERED this 1st day of June, 2017.
