under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On July 22, 2015, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which 

were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the 

findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. On August 7, 2015, 

plaintiff filed a document entitled “Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration,” which this court 

construes as plaintiff’s objections to the findings and recommendations. 

 In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the

court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper 

analysis. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. The findings and recommendations filed July 22, 2015, are adopted in full; and 

 2. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 45) is granted in part, and denied 

in part, as follows: 

a. Plaintiff’s claims against defendant Haring are dismissed without prejudice, 

based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies; 

b. Plaintiff’s claims against defendants Virga, DeRoco, and Clough that plaintiff 

was denied access to outdoor exercise in violation of the Eighth Amendment are 

dismissed without prejudice, based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative 

remedies; 

c. Plaintiff’s claims against defendant Clough are dismissed without prejudice 

based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies; and 

d. The motion for summary judgment by defendants Virga and DeRoco as to 

plaintiff’s equal protection claims under the Fourteenth Amendment are denied; and 

3. Defendants Virga and DeRoco are directed to file an answer within twenty-one days of 

service of this order.
