 OPINION 

 Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state 

prisoner, filed this lawsuit alleging that he was 

assaulted, and thus subjected to the use of excessive 

force, by defendants, correctional officers at Bullock 

Correctional Facility. 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. 

 An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 29th day of July, 2016.
