OPINION
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff Abdul Gaither,
a state inmate, filed this lawsuit complaining he received
inadequate medical treatment.

This lawsuit is now before

the court on the recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge that the remaining defendants’ motion to
dismiss should be granted and that this case should be
dismissed

in

its

entirety,

with

the

claims

against

defendant Alabama Department of Corrections dismissed with
prejudice and with the claims against defendants Michael
Robbins (a/k/a Dr. Roberts), Valencia Lockhart, Dallas
Diaz, and Corizon, Inc. (a/k/a Corizon Health Services and

CMS Health Services) dismissed without prejudice. Gaither
has filed objections to the recommendation.

After an

independent and de novo review of the record, the court
concludes that the objections should be overruled and the
magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 9th day of June, 2014.

/s/ Myron H. Thompson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
