OPINION AND ORDER

The plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed a motion for 

preliminary injunction seeking to prevent defendants 

from denying him prompt and adequate medical care for 

his serious medical needs, which he contends were 

caused by correctional officers assaulting him. This 

case is before the court on the recommendation of the 

United States Magistrate Judge that the plaintiff’s 

motion for preliminary injunction be denied. Also 

before the court are plaintiff’s objections to the 

recommendation. Upon an independent and de novo review 

of the record, the court is of the opinion that

Case 2:15-cv-00372-MHT-CSC Document 91 Filed 08/18/16 Page 1 of 2
plaintiff’s objections should be overruled and the 

recommendation adopted on the ground that plaintiff has 

not shown a likelihood of success on the merits of his 

claim. The court does not adopt the portion of the 

recommendation concluding that part of plaintiff’s 

request for relief is moot.

* * *

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

(1) Plaintiff’s objections (doc. nos. 87 & 90) are

overruled.

(2) The recommendation of the United States 

Magistrate Judge (doc. no. 86) is adopted to the extent 

discussed above.

(3) The motion for preliminary injunction (doc. no. 

78) is denied.

It is further ORDERED that this case is referred 

back to the United States Magistrate Judge for further 

proceedings.

DONE, this the 18th day of August, 2016.
