IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA HELENA DIVISION

NEAL LEWIS GRAY, CV 17–83–H–BMM–JTJ Plaintiff,

vs. ORDER

DAVID HARRIS and C/O HARDING,

Defendants.

United States Magistrate Judge John Johnston entered his Findings and Recommendations in this case on November 7, 2019 (Doc. 78.) Judge Johnston denied Plaintiff Neal Lewis Gray’s (“Gray”) Motion for Addium (Doc. 58), Motion for Pre-Trial Order (Doc. 59), and Motion for Addendum (Doc. 74). Judge Johnston recommended that Defendant Harding’s (“Harding”) Second Motion for Summary Judgment based on Failure to Exhaust (Doc. 60) and Non-Procedural Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 64) be granted. He also recommended that Gray’s Brief in Support of a Summary Judgment in Favor of Plaintiff (Doc. 76) be denied. Neither party filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations. The parties have thus waived the right to de novo review.

(b)(1)(C). Absent objection, this Court reviews findings and recommendations for clear error. United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

(9th Cir. 2003) (en banc); Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Clear error exists if the Court is left

with a “definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” United States v. Syrax,

(9th Cir. 2000) (citations omitted). Reviewing for clear error and finding none, IT IS ORDERED that Judge Johnston’s Findings and Recommendations

(Doc. 78) are ADOPTED IN FULL. For the reasons set forth in Judge Johnston’s recommendations:  Defendant Harding’s Second Motion for Summary Judgment based on

Failure to Exhaust (Doc. 60) is GRANTED;  Defendant Harding’s Non-Procedural Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 64) is GRANTED.

 Plaintiff Gray’s Brief in Support of a Summary Judgment in Favor of Plaintiff (Doc. 76) is DENIED.  The Clerk of Court is directed to close this matter and enter judgment

in favor of Defendants under Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. DATED this 16th day of December, 2019.
