CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:15-CV-319 (MTT-MSH)

ORDER
United States Magistrate Judge Stephen Hyles recommends granting Defendant
Charles’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 14) against the Plaintiff on his excessive
force claim under Eight Amendment. Doc. 17. The Magistrate Judge recommends
granting the motion because it undisputed that the Plaintiff’s injury was the result of
Charles’s unmalicious and unintentional contact with the Plaintiff during Charles’s
attempt to break up a fight between two other inmates. Id. at 4-5. The Plaintiff has not
filed an objection to the Recommendation, and the time for doing so has expired.
The Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation (Doc.
17) and, agreeing with it, ADOPTS it as the order of the Court. The Defendant’s motion
for summary judgment (Doc. 14) is GRANTED.
SO ORDERED, this 22nd day of December, 2016.
