Defendants.

Appearances: Plaintiff, pro se: Edwin Rodriguez 04-A-3404 Riverview Correctional Facility PO Box 247 Ogdensburg, NY 13669 For Defendants: Letitia James Attorney General of the State of New York Konstandinos D. Leris, Esq. Assistant Attorney General New York State Attorney General’s Office The Capitol Albany, NY 12224 Hon. Brenda K. Sannes, United States District Judge: MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER Plaintiff Edwin Rodriguez, a New York State inmate, commenced this action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

asserting claims arising out of his incarceration in New York State correctional facilities. (Dkt. No. 1). On August 17, 2020, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all claims based upon Plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies. (Dkt. No. 10). Plaintiff filed a response in opposition to the motion on August 26, 2020, (Dkt. No. 13), and Defendants filed a reply on August 31, 2020, (Dkt. No. 14). This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Thérése Wiley Dancks who, on October 26, 2020, issued a Report-Recommendation recommending that Defendants’ motion for summary judgment be granted and that Plaintiffs complaint be dismissed with prejudice. (Dkt. No. 15). Magistrate Judge Dancks advised the parties that under

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1), they had fourteen days within which to file written objections to the report, and that the failure to object to the report within fourteen days would preclude appellate review. (Dkt. No. 15, at 15). No objections have been filed. As no objections to the Report-Recommendation have been filed, and the time for filing objections has expired, the Court reviews the Report- Recommendation for clear error. See Petersen v. Astrue,

2 F. Supp. 3d 223, 229

(N.D.N.Y. 2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note to 1983 amendment. Having reviewed the Report-Recommendation for clear error and found none, the Court adopts the Report- Recommendation in its entirety. For these reasons, it is ORDERED that the Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 15) is ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED that Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 10) is GRANTED and Plaintiffs complaint (Dkt. No. 1) is DISMISED with prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order upon the parties in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: November 17, 2020 Brrr of CA K nannies Syracuse, New York Brendak SairesStt*~=~CS~S~S U.S. District Judge
