ORDER

FREDERICK J. SCULLIN, JR., Senior District Judge.

On July 7, 2016, Plaintiff, an inmate in custody of the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (?DOCCS?), commenced this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights. See Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 8, 2016, which the Court ordered stricken from the docket. See Dkt. Nos. 20, 26. Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint with permission on January 13, 2017. See Dkt. No. 23. This became the operative pleading. According to Plaintiff, Defendants beat him on July 7, 2013, after he was in an altercation with another inmate. See id. Based on this event, Plaintiff raises an excessive force and failure to protect claim against Defendants. See Dkt. Nos. 23, 56.

Defendants then moved for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on the ground that Plaintiff had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies before filing his complaint. See Dkt. No. 64. Plaintiff opposed the motion, and Defendants submitted a reply. See Dkt. Nos. 73, 76. In a Report Recommendation dated February 13, 2020, Magistrate Judge Dancks recommended that this Court grant Defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismiss Plaintiff's second amended complaint with prejudice. See Dkt. No. 77 at 12-13. The parties did not file any objections to those recommendations.

When a party does not object to a magistrate judge's report-recommendation, the court reviews that report-recommendation for clear error or manifest injustice. See Linares v. Mahunik, No. 9:05-CV-625, 2009 WL 3165660, *10 (N.D.N.Y. July 16, 2009) (citation and footnote omitted). After conducting this review, "the Court may `accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the. . . recommendations made by the magistrate judge.'" Id. (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C)).

The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Dancks' February 13, 2020 Report Recommendation for clear error and manifest injustice; and, finding none, the Court hereby

ORDERS that Magistrate Judge Dancks' February 13, 2020 Report-Recommendation is ACCEPTED in its entirety for the reasons stated therein; and the Court further

ORDERS that Defendants' motion for summary judgment, see Dkt. No. 64, is GRANTED; and the Court further

ORDERS that Plaintiff's second amended complaint, see Dkt. No. 23, is DISMISSED with prejudice; and the Court further

ORDERS that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment in favor of Defendants and close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
