to 2000e-17. The defendants are the Alabama Department of

Corrections and its commissioner, the Alabama State

court on the recommendation of the United States

be denied and that the defendants’ motion for summary

objections to the recommendation. After an independent

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes that

Grider’s objections should be overruled and the magistrate

judge’s recommendation adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.
