DECISION & ORDER
This action, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, was referred by this Court to
the Honorable David E. Peebles, United States Magistrate Judge, for a ReportRecommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 72.3(c). No
objections to the Report-Recommendation have been filed.
In a Report-Recommendation dated March 15, 2013, Magistrate Judge Peebles
recommended that Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted as to Plaintiff’s deliberate
medical indifference claim. Plaintiff was granted leave to amend the initial complaint to
set forth more specific factual inquiries regarding the claim. Further, Magistrate Judge
Peebles recommended that Defendants’ motion to dismiss be denied as to Plaintiff’s
excessive force claim. After examining the record, this Court has determined that the
Report-Recommendation is not subject to attack for plain error or manifest injustice.
Accordingly, this Court adopts the Report-Recommendation for the reasons stated
therein.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court ADOPTS the Report-Recommendation in
its entirety. It is therefore ORDERED that Defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED
in part and Plaintiff’s deliberate medical indifference claim against Graziano be
dismissed. Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint, which he has now
done. It is further ORDERED that Defendants’ motion to dismiss is otherwise DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
