ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

BARBARA J. ROTHSTEIN, District Judge.

Plaintiff, an inmate in state custody, filed this civil rights action against Defendants Filtenburger, ASP, Crowder, Tice, Hollis, Sauers, Wilson, Cole, Overmyer, Murn, Gadley, Puhl, Ennis, Apadac, Repco, Simons, and Heberling ("the Commonwealth Defendants"). Plaintiff alleges that the Commonwealth Defendants violated his federal constitutional rights under the First, Eight, and Fourteenth Amendments. He further alleges that the Commonwealth Defendants took retaliatory action against him for submitting grievances and threating to file a lawsuit.1 Defendants moved to dismiss Plaintiff's claims. However, several claims remained following resolution of the motion to dismiss. The parties completed discovery and the Commonwealth Defendants moved for summary judgment, arguing that Plaintiff cannot maintain his retaliation and Eighth Amendment claims.

The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation in this matter on January 30, 2018. Dkt. No. 181. In it, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the summary judgment motion be granted as to Plaintiff's retaliation and Eight Amendment claims based on the revocation of Plaintiff's Z-code status, but denied as to the excessive force and Eighth Amendment claim based on delay of medical treatment.

After reviewing the Report and Recommendation, the record, and all other materials before the Court, and no objection being filed, it is hereby ordered that:

IT IS SO ORDERED.
