Ludington United States District Judge MICHAEL LEWIS, Honorable Curtis Ivy Jr. Defendant. United States Magistrate Judge ________________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND DISMISSING CASE On June 29, 2023, Magistrate Judge Curtis Ivy Jr., issued a report recommending that the case be dismissed on Defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
