HILL v. NEWBERN et al

1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
JEFFREY T. HILL,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 1:24-cv-84-AW-ZCB
E. NEWBERN, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
FINAL ORDER
Plaintiff Jeffrey Hill sued three corrections officers, alleging Eighth
Amendment violations. ECF No. 7. Defendants moved to dismiss for lack of
exhaustion (and for other reasons). ECF No. 18. The magistrate judge issued a report
and recommendation concluding the court should dismiss based on lack of
exhaustion. ECF No. 29. Hill filed objections, ECF No. 32, to which Defendants
responded, ECF No. 36. I have considered de novo the issues Hill raised in his
objections. After careful review, I now overrule the objections, adopt the report and
recommendation, and grant the motion to dismiss. As the magistrate judge
concluded, Hill did not fully exhaust the claims he brings here.
I now incorporate the report and recommendation into this order. The motion
to dismiss (ECF No. 18) is GRANTED. The clerk will enter a judgment that says,
“This case is dismissed without prejudice for lack of exhaustion.” The clerk will then
close the file.
