ORDER
On 	October 	24, 	2025, 	Magistrate 	Judge 	Sally 	J. 	Berens 	issued 	a 	Report 	and
Recommendation (R&R) recommending that Plaintiff's claims against all Defendants save Andre
Collins and Michael Schutt be dismissed for failure to exhaust (ECF No. 28). The R&R was duly
served on the parties. 	No objections have been filed, and the deadline for doing so expired on
November 7, 2025. On review, the Court concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues
and makes a sound recommendation.

opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the MDOC Defendants’ motion for summary
judgment (ECF No. 12) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.
