CIVIL ACTION NO.

(WO)

OPINION
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state
inmate, filed this lawsuit contending that he received
constitutionally inadequate medical care for a number
of serious medical needs.

This lawsuit is now before

the court on the recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge that defendants’ motions to dismiss
and 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
