OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a county-jail

inmate, filed this lawsuit seeking damages for falling

down the stairs while he was shackled at his ankles. This

lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation of

the United States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case

be dismissed. There are no objections to the

recommendation. After an independent and de novo review

of the record, the court concludes that the magistrate

judge’s recommendation should be adopted.
