DECISION ORDER

THOMAS McAVOY, District Judge

This pro se action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was referred to the Hon. Randolph F.

Furthermore, after examining the record, this Court has determined that the Report-Recommendation and Order is not subject to attack for plain error or manifest injustice. Accordingly, the Court adopts the Report-Recommendation and Order for the reasons stated therein.

It is therefore,

ORDERED that Defendants' motion for summary judgment (Docket No. 34) is GRANTED and the complaint is DISMISSED as to all defendants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
