OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, who is 

confined in Russell County Jail, filed this lawsuit 

complaining that defendants repeatedly failed to 

protect him from violent assaults, denied him medical 

care for his injuries, and failed to adequately 

investigate or prosecute his attackers. This lawsuit 

is now before the court on the recommendation of the 

United States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s claims

be dismissed. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

Case 3:16-cv-00820-MHT-TFM Document 5 Filed 11/28/16 Page 1 of 2

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 28th day of November, 2016.
