OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff Princeton 

T. Taylor, a state prisoner, filed this lawsuit 

complaining about physical abuse by jail officials

while in the custody of a county jail. This lawsuit is 

now before the court on the recommendation of the 

United States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case be 

dismissed. 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.
