MOSES ROBINSON,
Plaintiff,
v.
CHERYL PRICE, et al.,
Defendants.

Case No. 2:11-CV-03406-IPJ-JEO

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on April 4, 2012, recommending
that this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) for
failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. (Doc. 9). Specifically, the magistrate
judge found that plaintiff has not stated a claim under the Eighth Amendment for failing to protect
him against the subject attack because he failed to demonstrate that defendants were deliberately
indifferent to a known danger or that there was a strong likelihood of the attack. (Id. at 9). The
plaintiff filed objections to the report and recommendation on April 18, 2012. (Doc. 10). However,
the objections likewise fail to set forth a constitutional violation.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including
the report and recommendation and the objections thereto, the court is of the opinion that the
magistrate judge’s report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and the recommendation is
ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the complaint is due to be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)
for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. A Final Judgment will be entered.
DONE this 30th day of April, 2012.

INGE PRYTZ JOHNSON
U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
