ORDER 

1. On de nova review, the Court adopts the partial recommendation, 

NQ 116, as modified. FED. R. Crv. P. 72(b)(3). 

2. The modification: Gardner didn't name Kennedy or Clark in 

grievance MX-13-530. NQ 109-3at1. And Clark's investigating that grievance 

doesn't equal exhaustion as to him. Gardner had to name Clark in his initial

unit level grievance. NQ 109-2 at 5. Kennedy and Clark's objection, NQ 117, is 

therefore sustained; and Gardner's response, NQ 118, is overruled. 

3. Motion for summary judgment, NQ 109, granted in part and denied 

rn part. All Gardner's claims stemming from grievance MX-13-

1225-including his claims against Kennedy and Clark- are dismissed 

without prejudice for failure to exhaust. Gardner's claims against Lowery, 

Griffin, and Jenkins are dismissed without prejudice for lack of exhaustion 

too. His claims against Straughn, Outlaw, Matthews-Gardner, Lyons, Kelly, 

Hall, and Crocket stemming from grievance MX-13-530 remain. 

So Ordered.
