FRANK LEE DEARWESTER,

Plaintiff,

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. On June 12, 2015, the magistrate judge filed 

Findings and Recommendations herein (ECF No. 32), which were served on all parties and which 

contained notice that any objections to the Findings and Recommendations were to be filed 

within fourteen days. On July 7, 2015, Plaintiff filed objections to the Findings and 

Recommendations. ECF No. 33. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, the 

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file,

including Plaintiff’s objections, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to be 

supported by the record and by proper analysis.
