ORDER

 Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by the Honorable 

Mark E. Ford, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 33. 

Judge Ford recommends that Defendant Kelly Aunspaugh’s Motion for Summary Judgment on 

the Issues of Exhaustion (ECF No. 24) be denied. Judge Ford further recommends that Defendant 

Jason Garner be terminated from this matter because of Plaintiff’s failure to provide a valid address 

for service. 

No party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and that Judge Ford’s 

reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the R&R (ECF No. 33) in toto. Defendant 

Aunspaugh’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 24) hereby is DENIED. Defendant 

Gardner hereby is terminated from this matter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 3rd day of January, 2025.
