OPINION 

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

state inmate, filed this lawsuit alleging that he was 

assaulted by two correctional officers in violation of 

his Eighth Amendment right to be free from excessive 

use of force. This lawsuit is now before the court on 

the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that plaintiff’s case be dismissed. There are no 

objections to the recommendation. After an independent 

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes 

that the magistrate judge’s recommendation should be 

adopted.
