ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

(Doc. 47)

On August 1, 2006, Plaintiff moved for reconsideration of

the March 21, 2006 Order adopting the Magistrate Judge's

recommendation and granting defendant's motion for summary

judgment on Plaintiff's Eighth Amendment violation claim.

Plaintiff did not file objections to the recommendation. 

Her motion for reconsideration merely seeks to re-argue the

merits of that recommendation, contending that she presented

Magistrate Judge's recommendation was reviewed de novo before it
