' Does. 12 & 14. The Court has also considered Plaintiff's Reply to Supplemental Response (Doc. 13), which addresses merits issues discussed in the RD and was filed within the 14-day window for objections. And the Court has even considered the arguments made in other documents filed by the Plaintiff subsequent to the RD. See Docs. 15, 16, & 17. To the extent these documents request that the Court take judicial notice of certain facts, the request is denied because the standards for taking judicial notice are not met. See Fed. R. Evid. 201. ? Although this case is being dismissed for failure to exhaust, the dismissal does not affect Plaintiff's ability to re-assert his claims in a new case once they have been properly exhausted with the BOP. See United States v. Chappel, 208 F.3d 1069 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam); Mathena v. United States, 577 F.3d 943, 946 (8th Cir. 2009).
