CIVIL ACTION NO.

(WO)

OPINION
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state
inmate, filed this lawsuit against numerous defendants,
asserting, inter alia, claims of a failure to protect and
of an exposure to “witnessing” of violence.

This lawsuit

is now before the court on the recommendation of the
United States Magistrate Judge that defendants' motions
for summary judgment be granted. Also before the court
are plaintiff’s objections to the recommendation.

After

an independent and de novo review of the record, the
court concludes that plaintiff’s objections should be
overruled

and

the

magistrate

judge’s

recommendation

adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 29th day of July, 2022.
/s/ Myron H. Thompson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
