COUNSEL FOR APPELLEES: Robert M. Goldfarb, Assistant Solicitor General (Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General of the State of New York; Barbara D. Underwood, Solicitor General; Nancy A. Spiegel, Senior Assistant Solicitor General, of counsel) Albany, NY. Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New 1 York (Glenn T. Suddaby, Judge). UPON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED. Plaintiff Antonio Brown appeals from the March 25, 2009 judgment of the District Court denying plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and granting defendants’ motion for summary judgment. On appeal, plaintiff argues that the District Court erred in concluding that there was no question of material fact as to whether defendants violated plaintiff’s rights under the Eighth Amendment and that defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the facts and procedural history of this case. We have reviewed each of plaintiff’s claims and find them to be without merit. Substantially for the reasons stated by Magistrate Judge Randolph S. Treece in his careful and thoughtful report and recommendation of February 25, 2009, see Brown v. Raimondo, 06-CV-0773 (N.D.N.Y. February 25, 2009), which the District Court adopted, see Brown v. Raimondo, 06-CV-0773 (N.D.N.Y. March 25, 2009), the March 25, 2009 judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
