Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

 On February 12, 2016, findings and recommendations were entered, recommending that 

this action proceed on the August 24, 2015, second amended complaint against Defendants 

Jackson and Smith, and that the remaining claims and Defendants be dismissed. Plaintiff was 

provided an opportunity to file objections within thirty days. On February 25, 2016, Plaintiff

Court finds the record to be supported by the record and proper analysis.
