OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff Timothy 

Price, a state inmate, filed this lawsuit against 

defendant Sgt. C. Smith, a correctional officer, 

alleging that Smith used excessive force against him 

when he hit without provocation. This lawsuit is now 

before the court on the recommendation of the United 

States Magistrate Judge, after an evidentiary hearing 

on the merits, that judgment should be entered in favor 

of Smith. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

Case 2:12-cv-00567-MHT-CSC Document 58 Filed 06/09/15 Page 1 of 2

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.
