OPINION

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit complaining that, while

there was no correctional officer in his dorm due to 

short staffing, another prisoner attacked him with a 

broom stick, broke several of his bones, and attempted 

to rape him. 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 

Case 2:16-cv-00970-MHT-TFM Document 4 Filed 02/21/17 Page 1 of 2
that the magistrate judge’s recommendation should be 

adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 21st day of February, 2017.
