Recommendations. (Doc. 37.)

At the first formal level of review, plaintiff’s grievance

against staff was found to be unsubstantiated, necessitating

pursuit of the appeal to the next level of review in the appeals

process. Because plaintiff failed to pursue his appeal to the

next available level, plaintiff failed to exhaust the available

administrative remedies, and defendants are entitled to dismissal

of this action. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, 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 August 22,

2005, is ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. Defendants’ motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust,

filed March 16, 2005, is GRANTED; and,

3. This action is DISMISSED in its entirety, without

prejudice, based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust prior to

filing suit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 9, 2005 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii
