UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
MICHAEL NELSON (#53923) CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
RHONDA ALLEMAN, ET AL. NO. 23-00504-BAJ-SDJ
RULING AND ORDER
Before the Court are the parties' Cross Mtotions for Summary Judgment (Docs.
53, 60). The Magistrate Judge issued a Report And Recommendation (Doc. 64,
the "Report ) recommending that the Court deny Plaintiffs Motion for Summary
Judgment (Doc. 60) and grant Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 53)
for Plaintiffs failure to designate specific evidence in the record of sufficient caliber
and quantity to create a genuine issue for trial, and failure to produce supporting
evidence on his own behalf." (Doc. 64 at 9). The Report further recommends that the
Court dismiss Plaintiffs claims with prejudice for failure to exhaust his
administrative remedies and decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over
Plaintiffs potential state law claims. (Id. at 9-10). There are no objections to the
Report.
After carefully considering Plaintiffs Complaint, the underlying Motions, the
Report, and the entirety of the record before the Court, the Court APPROVES the
Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and ADOPTS it as the Court's
opinion in this matter.
Accordingly,
Case 3:23-cv-00504-BAJ-SDJ Document 65 01/21/26 Page 1 of 2
