Plaintiff Ronald N. Dieudonne ("Plaintiff") is a State prisoner presently incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution at Fayette ("SCI-Fayette"), in LaBelle, Pennsylvania. Plaintiff brings this suit against Defendant pursuant to the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In his complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant violated his rights under the Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution by subjecting him to a constitutionally-deficient misconduct hearing process when he was accused of threatening a psychologist at SCI-Fayette and engaging in an unauthorized group activity. See CompI. (Doc. 6) at 2 and 4;see also Continuation of CompI. (Doc. 6-1) at 1. Plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") on December 3, 2010.

(Doc. 8). The docket reflects that a copy of the report was mailed to Plaintiff at his address of record. Id. Plaintiff was allowed until January 24, 2011, to file objections. As of the date of this writing no objections have been filed.

After de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the report and recommendation, the following order is entered.
