OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state 

inmate, filed this lawsuit complaining that he was 

assaulted by the defendant correctional officer while 

restrained and that the officer failed to report the 

incident as required by policy. This lawsuit is now 

before the court on the recommendation of the United 

States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s claims against 

the defendant be dismissed without prejudice for 

failure to effect service of process on this individual

in accordance with applicable procedural rules. There 

are no objections to the recommendation. After an

should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.
