seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On February 25, 2010, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any

objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days from the

date the findings and recommendations were served. Defendants have filed untimely objections

untimely objections.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule
