OPINION

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

inmate, filed this lawsuit raising federal claims of

excessive force as well as various state-law claims, 

all stemming from an incident in which a correctional 

officer slammed plaintiff’s cell door, thereby crushing 

his finger. This lawsuit is now before the court on 

the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that defendants’ motion for summary judgment be 

granted as to plaintiff’s federal claims and that 

plaintiff’s state-law claims be dismissed without 

prejudice. There are no objections to the 

Case 2:15-cv-00291-MHT-CSC Document 18 Filed 07/13/16 Page 1 of 2
recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

review of the record, the court concludes that the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 13th day of July, 2016.
