MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

The magistrate judge filed a Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 30) on

January 31, 2014, recommending that summary judgment be granted and this action

be dismissed with prejudice. No objections have been filed by any party. 1

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court

file, including the Report and Recommendation, the court is of the opinion that the

magistrate judge’s report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and his

recommendation is ACCEPTED. The court EXPRESSLY FINDS that Defendant

The Report and Recommendation also found that Johnson failed to exhaust his 1

administrative remedies as required by 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). That failure would result in a

dismissal without prejudice. However, because summary judgment is due to be granted in favor of

Officer Anthony Johnson on the merits, the court considers this finding as an alternative grounds for

dismissal only.
