BRUCE POLK v. SHERRIE JOHN QUINN, ET AL.


MEMORANDUM ORDER OVERRULING THE OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING

THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Plaintiff Bruce Polk, a former prisoner, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Sherrie John-Quinn and Lakeshia Hebert.

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' motions for summary judgment with respect to the claims against them in their official capacities and denying the motions on the remaining grounds.

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, the objections are OVERRULED. The findings of fact and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct, and the report of the magistrate judge is ADOPTED. Defendants' motions for summary judgment (document nos. 24 and 53) are GRANTED with respect to the claims against them in their official capacities and the motions are, in all other respects, DENIED.
