Opinion
Case No: 06-10934
03-23-2012
Honorable Victoria A. Roberts
ORDER
Before this Court is a Report and Recommendation (Doc. #178), Defendant Vadlamudi's Objections (Doc. #180) and Mr. Reed-Bey's letter (Doc. 181).
The Court will not grant Mr. Reed-Bey's request for additional time to file objections. A proof of service indicates a copy of the Report and Recommendation was mailed to Mr. Reed-Bey at the correct address. Mr. Reed-Bey did receive the Defendant's objections.
The Court has carefully reviewed the Report and Recommendation and Defendant's objections. The Court finds no error in the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Whalen.
Accordingly:
(1) Defendant's objections are overruled;
(2) Defendant Vadlamudi's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED as to the Eighth Amendment claim against her;
(3) Defendants' DuBuc and Jackson's Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED;
(4) Defendants' motion on Plaintiff's state law claim of medical malpractice is GRANTED. The Court declines supplemental jurisdiction and dismisses the claim without prejudice; and
(5) Plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment is DENIED.
Trial will be restricted to medical issues Mr. Reed-Bey experienced in September and October, 2005, and whether Dr. Valumudi was deliberately indifferent to those medical needs.
Trial will proceed on the Eighth Amendment Claim only, as to Dr. Vadlumudi.
IT IS ORDERED.
