UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Plaintiff Garrick Harrington is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 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 January 7, 2014, the Magistrate Judge screening Plaintiff’s first 

amended complaint and found that Plaintiff stated a cognizable claim against Defendants Bautista and 

Blaylock for deliberate indifference to Plaintiff’s safety in violation of the Eighth Amendment. 

However, Plaintiff did not state any other cognizable claims for relief against any other defendants. 

Accordingly, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the action proceed against Defendants Bautista 

and Blaylock only and all other claims and defendants be dismissed from the action. The Findings and 

Recommendation was served on Plaintiff and contained notice that Objections were to be filed within 

fourteen days. After receiving an extension of time, Plaintiff filed an Objection on March 12, 2014.
