OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff Octavius T. 

McDonald, a former state inmate, filed this lawsuit 

complaining that he was denied appropriate 

mental-health treatment while incarcerated, and that, 

as a result, he repeatedly cut himself. This lawsuit 

is now before the court on the recommendation of the 

United States Magistrate Judge that this case be 

dismissed without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to 

prosecute this action and comply with the orders of the 

court. There are no objections to the recommendation. 

After an independent and de novo review of the record, 

Case 2:16-cv-00670-MHT-WC Document 32 Filed 02/23/17 Page 1 of 2
the court concludes that the magistrate judge’s 

recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 23rd day of February, 2017.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson
