ORDER
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by the Honorable
Mark E. Ford, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 33.
Judge Ford recommends that Defendant Kelly Aunspaugh’s Motion for Summary Judgment on
the Issues of Exhaustion (ECF No. 24) be denied. Judge Ford further recommends that Defendant
Jason Garner be terminated from this matter because of Plaintiff’s failure to provide a valid address
for service.
No party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and that Judge Ford’s
reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the R&R (ECF No. 33) in toto. Defendant
Aunspaugh’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 24) hereby is DENIED. Defendant
Gardner hereby is terminated from this matter.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 3rd day of January, 2025.
