CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:12-CV-145 (MTT)

ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Recommendation of United States

Magistrate Judge Charles H. Weigle. (Doc. 40). The Magistrate Judge recommends
the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Doc. 29) be granted because the
Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate a genuine issue of material fact regarding the
Defendants’ alleged use of excessive force and alleged deliberate indifference to his
serious medical needs.
The Plaintiff filed an objection to the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. (Doc.
41). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1), the Court has considered the Plaintiff’s objection
and made a de novo determination of the portions of the Recommendation to which the
Plaintiff objects. The Plaintiff has not produced sufficient evidence to permit a finding
that the force used by the Defendants was excessive or that they were deliberately
indifferent to his serious medical needs.
The Recommendation is adopted and made the order of this Court. The
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.

SO ORDERED, this 13th day of August, 2013.

S/ Marc T. Treadwell
MARC T. TREADWELL, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
