Ass't Attorney General DAVID N. HURD United States District Judge DECISION and ORDER
Pro se plaintiff Gene M. Coffeey brought this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 27, 2016, the Honorable Christian F. Hummel, United States Magistrate Judge, advised by Report-Recommendation that defendants' motion for summary judgment be granted, and the complaint be dismissed in its entirety. See ECF No. 24. Plaintiff submitted a response in which he broadly objected to the Report-Recommendation and requested appellate review of the instant matter. See ECF No. 40. This has been construed as an objection to the substance of the entirety of the Report-Recommendation, giving rise to a de novo review.
Based upon this de novo review of the Report-Recommendation, the Report-Recommendation is accepted in whole. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Therefore, it is ORDERED that:
1. Defendants' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED, and the complaint is DISMISSED IN ITS ENTIRETY; and
2. The Clerk serve a copy of this Decision and Order upon plaintiff in accordance with the Local Rules.
The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment and close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
