IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA STATESBORO DIVISION MARVIN DEE GOODMAN, Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION NO.: 6:23-cv-54 v. RANDY TILLMAN, JAMES CLIFTON, and LAKESHIA HUGHES, Defendants.

ORDER The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation for the Court to grant Detendants’ Motion to Dismiss and dismiss without prejudice Plaintiff's cause of action. Doc. 21.

Plaintiff did not file Objections to this Report and Recommendation, and the time to do so has elapsed.

Accordingly, upon review, I find no clear error in the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and ADOPT the Report and Recommendation as the opinion of the Court. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006) (If no specific objections are made or no objections are made at all, “the appropriate standard of review for the report and recommendation is clear error.”). I GRANT Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, DISMISS without prejudice Plaintiff's Complaint based on his failure to exhaust his administrative remedies, and DISMISS as moot Plaintiffs claims for injunctive relief. I DIRECT the Clerk of Court to CLOSE this case and enter the appropriate judgment of dismissal and DENY Plaintiff leave to file in forma pauperis.

SO ORDERED, this Gt. of September, 2025.
