MEMORANDUM OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report on December 28, 2016, recommending the

defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment

conditions of confinement claims be granted. (Doc. 15). The magistrate judge further

recommended that the plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment conditions of confinement

claims against “unknown Shift Supervisors, Rovers, and A-Block Officers” be

dismissed for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). (Id.). Although the parties were advised of their right to file

specific written objections within fourteen (14) days, no objections have been

received by the court.
