UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

GILBERTO DELEON BALDERAS,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 18-cv-1368-JPG

RICHARD WATTSON, DENNIS LARSON, and HEAD NURSE DEBRA,

Defendants.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (Doc. 60) of Magistrate Judge Gilbert C. Sison recommending that the Court grant the motion for summary judgment filed by defendant Dennis Larson (Doc. 32) and dismiss plaintiff Gilberto DeLeon Balderas’s claim against him for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. No party has objected to the Report. The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations of the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which objections are made. Id. “If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp.,

, 739 (7th Cir. 1999). The Court has received no objection to the Report. The Court has reviewed the entire file and finds that the Report is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby: • ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 60);

• GRANTS Larson’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 32); • DISMISSES DeLeon Balderas’s claim against Larson without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies; and

• DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to enter judgment accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: December 19, 2019
