Casey H. Perry v. Ryan Silverthon

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan adopted two reports and recommendations concerning the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. The court denied Plaintiff Casey H. Perry’s motion for summary judgment, granted Defendant Ryan Silverthon’s motion for summary judgment, denied as moot Perry’s motion for an MDOC revised policy directive, and closed the case.

Holdings

1. Because neither party filed objections, and the court found no prejudicial clear error, the court adopted the magistrate judge's reports and recommendations.
2. Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment was denied, and defendant's motion for summary judgment was granted.
3. Plaintiff's motion for an MDOC revised policy directive was denied as moot because granting defendant's motion for summary judgment closed the case.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court should adopt the magistrate judge's reports and recommendations when neither party filed objections.

3. Whether plaintiff's motion for an MDOC revised policy directive should be denied as moot after summary judgment resolved the case.
