ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(ECF NOS. 34 & 40)

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, District Judge.

Victor Quintana ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding "against defendant Dr. Scharffenberg on Plaintiff's claim for deliberate indifference to serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment." (ECF No. 11, p. 7). The matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On June 20, 2019, defendant Dr. Scharffenberg ("Defendant") filed a motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 34). On July 19, 2019, Plaintiff filed his opposition. (ECF No. 38). Defendant filed his reply on July 26, 2019. (ECF No. 39).

On December 17, 2019, Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean entered findings and recommendations, recommending that Defendant's motion for summary judgment be granted, that judgment be entered in favor of Defendant, and that this case be closed. (ECF No. 40).

The parties were provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and recommendations. The deadline to file objections has passed and no objections have been filed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.

Accordingly, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that:

IT IS SO ORDERED.
