In his objections, the plaintiff cites Fruit v. Norris, 905 F.2d 1147 (8 Cir. 1990) and Wallis v. Baldwin, 70 1 th

F.3d 1074 (9 Cir. 1995). However, in those cases, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants had knowingly placed them th

in inherently dangerous work environments and had ignored requests for protective gear. There are no allegations in this

instance alleging that the defendants knowingly placed the plaintiff in undue danger or that they ignored requests for

protection from that danger. There are simply no facts alleged in the plaintiff’s complaint which rise to the level of a

constitutional claim. As stated in the report and recommendation, the plaintiff may pursue any tort claims in state court.
