OPINION AND ORDER 

 Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff filed this 

lawsuit asserting that prison officials failed to 

protect him from an inmate assault. This lawsuit is 

now before the court on the recommendation of the 

United States Magistrate Judge that several defendants 

be dismissed. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

review of the record, the court concludes that 

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.
