ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Partial Recommended Disposition

submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe and Plaintiff’s Objections. After carefully

considering the objections and making a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the

Proposed Findings and Partial Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and

adopted in their entirety as this Court's findings in all respects.1

 IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:

1. Defendants Reed and Smarjesse are DISMISSED without prejudice.

2. Plaintiff’s claims regarding his grievances are DISMISSED without prejudice.

3. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma 

pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of January, 2017.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

1

With his objections, Plaintiff argues that Defendant Smarjesse should not be dismissed

because she was informed, by way of an interview request submitted on October 10, 2016, that he

was being bullied. These new allegations fail to show that Smarjesse was aware that he faced a risk

of attack by another inmate and that Smarjesse was deliberately indifferent to his right to be free of

violent attacks by other inmates.
