THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Jackie Hamby brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against
Mark J. Richards and Robert Behrns.
The court ordered that this matter be referred to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States
Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of
this court. The magistrate judge recommends granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment.
The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge, along with the record and the pleadings. Plaintiff filed objections to the magistrate
judge’s Report and Recommendation.
The court has conducted a de novo review of the objections in relation to the pleadings and
the applicable law. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). After careful consideration, the court concludes the
objections are without merit.
ORDER
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s objections (document no. 69) are OVERRULED. The findings of
fact and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct, and the report of the magistrate judge
(document no. 66) is ADOPTED. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (document no. 53)
