CASE NO. 2:12-cv-786-WHA
(wo)

ORDER
This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #83),
entered on July 6, 2015, and the Plaintiff’s Objection (Doc. #87), filed on July 23, 2015.
The court has conducted an independent evaluation and de novo review of the
Recommendation, the Objection, and the file in this case. The Objection relies on the same
claims and arguments which were made to the Magistrate Judge and addressed at length in the
Recommendation.
After a de novo review, the court agrees with the Recommendation’s findings that the
Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate a genuine dispute of material fact as to the issue of deliberate
indifference and also as to the complaint that his constitutional rights are being violated by
assessment of a $3 co-payment for partial payment of costs attendant to each treatment for
sinusitis. Therefore, Plaintiff’s Objection is OVERRULED, the court ADOPTS the thorough
and well-reasoned Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby ORDERED as
follows:
1. The Defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment are GRANTED.

2. The Plaintiff’s Motions for Summary Judgment are DENIED.
3. Summary Judgment is GRANTED in favor of the Defendants, and this case is
DISMISSED with prejudice.
4. No costs are taxed.
DONE this 18th day of August, 2015.
