ORDER

 This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #59), 

entered on July 16, 2015, and the Plaintiff’s Objection thereto (Doc. #63), filed on August 17, 

2015. 

 The court has conducted an independent evaluation and de novo review of the file in this 

case and, having done so, finds the objection to be without merit. 

 In the Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge found that the Defendants’ Motion to 

Dismiss on the basis of failure to exhaust administrative remedies should be denied, but then 

further found that the Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment on the merits should be 

granted. The Plaintiff’s only objection is premised solely on the exhaustion of administrative 

remedies issue, which the Magistrate Judge recommended resolving in his favor. Therefore, the 

Plaintiff’s objection is OVERRULED, the court ADOPTS the Recommendation of the 

Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby ORDERED as follows: 

Case 2:12-cv-00398-WHA-CSC Document 64 Filed 09/15/15 Page 1 of 2

 3. This case is DISMISSED with prejudice. 

 DONE this 15th day of September, 2015.
