IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON ERIC EUGENE WRAY, Plaintiff, v. OREGON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, a State of Oregon public entity; EASTERN OREGON CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION, a State of Oregon public entity; MEDICAL and BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SCIENCES DEPARTMENTS OF E.O.C.I., a State of Oregon public entities; MAX WILLIAMS, Former Director of Oregon Department of Corrections; JOYCE DUVAL, Manager of Behavioral Health Sciences at E.O.C.I.; RAYMOND PETERS, Lieutenant at E.O.C.I., Defendants. 1 - ORDER 2:12-CV-00980-PK ORDER BROWN, Judge. Magistrate Judge Paul Papak issued Findings and Recommendation (#85) on May 1, 2013, in which he recommends this Court grant in part and deny in part Defendants' Unenumerated Motion (#66-1) to Dismiss for Failure to Exhaust and grant in part and deny in part Defendants' Motion (#66-2) for Judgment on the Pleadings. The matter is now before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ยง 636(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). Although Plaintiff filed a document titled "Objections," Plaintiff does not object to the substance of the Findings and Recommendation. Plaintiff instead clarifies the proper name of Defendant in Plaintiff's Sixth and Seventh Claims is the Medical Department rather than the Medical Health Department. Defendants do not object to Plaintiff's clarification, and it is supported by the allegations in Plaintiff's Complaint. The Court, therefore, incorporates the changes in its adoption of the Findings and Recommendation as set out below. Because no substantive objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation were filed, this Court is relieved of its obligation to review the record de novo. United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)(en banc). See also United States v. Bernhardt, 840 F.2d 1441, 1444 (9th Cir. 1988). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court 2 - ORDER does not find any error. CONCLUSION The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Papak's Findings and Recommendation (#85). 1. Accordingly, the Court: GRANTS Defendants' Unenumerated Motion (#66-1) to Dismiss for Failure to Exhaust as to Plaintiff's First through Fourth Claims and DISMISSES those claims with prejudice; 2. GRANTS Defendants' Unenumerated Motion (#66-1) to Dismiss for Failure to Exhaust as to Plaintiff's Sixth Claim and DISMISSES that claim without prejudice; 3. GRANTS Defendants' Unenumerated Motion (#66-1) to Dismiss for Failure to Exhaust as to Plaintiff's Seventh Claim to the extent that claim is alleged against Defendant Medical Department and DISMISSES that claim without prejudice; 4. DENIES Defendants' Unenumerated Motion (#66-1) to Dismiss for Failure to Exhaust as to Plaintiff's Fifth and Seventh Claims to the extent they are alleged against Defendant Behavioral Health Services Department; 5. 3 - ORDER DENIES Defendants' Unenumerated Motion (#66-1) to Dismiss for Failure to Exhaust as to Plaintiff's Eighth through Tenth Claims; 6. GRANTS Defendants' Motion (#66-2) for Judgment on the Pleadings as to Plaintiffs' Seventh Claim to the extent that claim is brought against the individually-named Defendants in their individual capacity and DISMISSES that claim with prejudice; 7. GRANTS Defendants' Motion (#66-2) for Judgment on the Pleadings as to Plaintiffs' Eighth through Tenth Claims and DISMISSES those claims with prejudice. Accordingly, this matter proceeds only as to Plaintiff's Fifth and Seventh Claims and only to the extent they are alleged against Defendant Behavioral Health Services Department. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED this 8th day of July, 2013. /s/ Anna J. Brown ANNA J. BROWN United States District Judge 4 - ORDER
