DAVID N. HURD United States District Judge DECISION and ORDER
Pro se plaintiff Kevin J. Johnson brought this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 5, 2014, the Honorable Thérèse Wiley Dancks, United States Magistrate Judge, advised by Report-Recommendation that defendants' motion for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 be granted and plaintiff's complaint be dismissed. Plaintiff timely filed objections to the Report-Recommendation.
Based upon a de novo review of the portions of the Report-Recommendation to which plaintiff objected, the Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in all respects. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Therefore, it is
ORDERED that
1. Defendants' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED;
2. Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED in its entirety; and
3. The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this Decision and Order upon plaintiff in accordance with the Local Rules and close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
