Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff Robert 

Withers, a state inmate, filed this lawsuit charging 

defendant-officers Kyle Hearns, Christopher Moore, and 

Galen Mathis with the use of excessive force. This 

lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation 

of the United States Magistrate Judge that, after an 

evidentiary hearing, judgment should be entered in 

favor of Hearns, Moore, and Mathis and against Withers. 

There are no objections to the recommendation. After 

an independent and de novo review of the record,
