Plaintiff, DeWayne Thompson, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis
with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United
States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. This action is
proceeding on two claims under the Eighth Amendment in Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended Complaint
(Doc. 21) against: (1) Defendants Felix, Harmon, Pendergrass, and Cruz for failing to
decontaminate Plaintiff following the application of pepper spray (“decontamination claim”); and
(2) Defendant Brodie for depriving Plaintiff of outdoor exercise (“exercise claim”). (See Doc. 23,
Screen F&R; Doc. 25, Screening Order.)
Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 45.) On August 5, 2016, the
Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations to deny the motion which was served
that same date and gave thirty days for the parties to file objections. (Doc. 56.) More than the
allowed time has lapsed and no objections have been filed.
