MICHAEL MOHAMMED SALAMI, Plaintiff, v. GATEWAY FOUNDATION INC. et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [ECF NO. 96] AND GRANTING GATEWAY DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS (ECF NO. 90) AND MDOC DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS (ECF NO. 88)
This is a pro se prisoner/parolee civil rights case brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000cc-1, et seq. Plaintiff Michael Mohammed Salami is suing defendants for requiring her to attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) classes and say "religious propaganda" as a condition of her parole. Defendants Gateway Foundation, Inc., Warren, Webster, Daniellis, and Myriecks ("Gateway Defendants") have filed a motion to dismiss (ECF No. 90), and Michigan Department of Corrections defendants Heather Stevens, Sarah Valade, and Heidi Washington ("MDOC Defendants") have filed a renewed motion to dismiss and/or for summary judgment (ECF No. 88). Both motions were referred to the Magistrate Judge for report and recommendation ("R&R"). The Magistrate Judge ordered Salami to respond to each motion twice (ECF Nos. 91, 95) but she failed to do so. The Magistrate Judge issued her R&R recommending that the motions be granted and that the case be dismissed (ECF No. 96).
No timely objections were filed to the R&R. The Court agrees with and adopts the analysis conducted and recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge. Now, therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's R&R (ECF No. 96) is ADOPTED by the Court.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the Gateway Defendants' motion to dismiss (ECF No. 90) is GRANTED.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the MDOC Defendants' motion to dismiss and/or for summary judgment (ECF No. 88) is GRANTED. Dated: April 6, 2021
