Defendants.

ORDER CORRECTING ORDER

ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS 

(Doc. 47)

ORDER FOR CLERK TO CORRECT

DOCKET 

 John R. Martinez (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On February 6, 2004, plaintiff filed the complaint against defendants M.D. Lunes and

M.G. Chamalbide for retaliation and deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth

Amendment. On December 1, 2006, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. (Doc.

39.) On February 20, 2007, Magistrate Sandra M. Snyder issued findings and recommendations

to grant in part and deny in part the motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 45.) On May 11,

2007, the undersigned adopted the findings and recommendations. (Doc. 47.)

Further review of the Magistrate’s findings and recommendations (Doc. 45) shows that

the conclusion as written, “Defendant Lunes [should] be dismissed from the action,” is in error. 

1

The substance of the Magistrate’s argument in the findings and recommendations was that

summary judgment should be granted as to the Eighth Amendment claim against defendant

Lunes only and denied as to the other claims. Therefore, the retaliation claim against defendant

Lunes remains at issue, and Lunes is not dismissed from this action. 

In light of the foregoing, the Order Adopting the Magistrate’s Findings and

Recommendations (Doc. 47) shall be corrected to conform to the substance of the Magistrate’s

argument. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The court’s May 11, 2007 Order Adopting Findings and Recommendations, is

corrected to read as follows:

 Page 2, Lines 14-16 :

The Eighth Amendment claim against Defendant

Lunes is GRANTED; and, Defendant Lunes is

therefore DISMISSED from the action. 

2. Defendant Lunes is not dismissed from this action; 

3. The retaliation claim against defendant Lunes remains at issue; 

4. The retaliation claim against defendant Chamalbide remains at issue;

5. The Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Chamalbide remains at issue;

and

6. The Clerk of Court shall correct the docket in accordance with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
