MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS
On September 12, 2011, the Magistrate Judge filed a Report and
Recommendation (#29) recommending that Defendants’ motion for summary
judgment (#22) be GRANTED. No objections have been timely filed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation (#29) is well taken and is APPROVED and ADOPTED. The
evidence presented in support of the motion for summary judgment (#22)
supports Defendants’ contention that the use of force was applied in good faith
in an effort to maintain and restore order and discipline, not with malicious or
sadistic purpose.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Summary
Judgment (#22) filed on June 9, 2011, is GRANTED. The Clerk shall enter
Judgment accordingly.
