Case No. 2:17-cv-01005-KOB-JEO

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on February 18, 2020, recommending the
plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Martin be dismissed, the
motion for summary judgment by the remaining defendants be granted, and this
action dismissed with prejudice. (Doc. 61). Although the parties were advised of
their right to file specific written objections within fourteen days, the court has
received no objections.
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 ORDERS that the plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim against defendant
Martin be dismissed, and the motion for summary judgment filed by the remaining
defendants be GRANTED, the court finding no genuine issues of material fact exist.

The court will enter a separate Final Order.
DONE and ORDERED this 17th day of March, 2020.
