MEMORANDUM OPINION

This prisoner civil rights case was commenced on April 2, 2015, with the filing of a
petition to proceed informa pauperis and was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Cynthia
Reed Eddy for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrate Judges Act, 28 U.S.C. §
636(b )( 1), and Rules 72.1.3 and 72.1.4 of the Local Rules for Magistrate Judges.
The magistrate judge's report and recommendation, dated June 9, 2017 (ECF No. 44)
recommended that Defendants' motion for summary judgment be granted in its entirety. A copy
of the report and recommendation was mailed to Plaintiff by First Class United States Mail at his
listed address. Plaintiff was advised that he had until June 26, 2017, to file written objections to
the Report and Recommendation. 1 Plaintiff has not filed any objections nor has he sought an
extension of time in which to do so.

At the time Plaintiff commenced this lawsuit he was an inmate in the custody of the
Pennsylvania of Corrections confined at SCI-Camp Hill. On August 9, 2016, Plaintiff provided
the Court with a change of address. (ECF No. 33.)

After de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the
Report and Recommendation, Defendants' motion for summary judgment will be granted. An
appropriate order will be entered.
