OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state 

inmate, filed this lawsuit alleging that the defendant 

correctional officer used excessive force against him. 

This lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation 

of the United States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s 

case be dismissed without prejudice for want of 

prosecution. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo review 

of the record, the court concludes that the magistrate 

judge’s recommendation should be adopted.
