Case No. 2:14-cv-1278-KOB-TMP

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on July 5, 2016, recommending the
defendants’ motion for summary judgment (doc. 37) be granted and the claims
against them dismissed with prejudice. (Doc. 43).

The plaintiff filed no

objections.1
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the
court file, including the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the
magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS his recommendation. Accordingly, the
court finds no genuine issues of material fact and that the defendants are entitled to
summary judgment as a matter of law. The court finds that the defendants’ motion
for summary judgment (doc. 37) is due to be granted.

The magistrate judge’s report indicates that, although the plaintiff was originally housed in the Kilby Correctional
Facility, the ADOC had moved the plaintiff to the Bullock Correctional Facility in Union Springs, Alabama. (Doc.
43 at 5 fn 2). On July 5, 2016, the Clerk mailed a copy of the report and recommendation (doc. 43) to the plaintiff at
his Bullock Correctional Facility address. On July 7, 2016, the court received notice from the plaintiff that his
address changed to the Donaldson Correctional Facility (doc. 44), and the Clerk mailed another copy of the report
and recommendation to the plaintiff at that address on July 8, 2016.

The court will enter a separate Final Judgment.
DONE and ORDERED this 25th day of August, 2016.
