Case No. 1:24-cv-886
HONORABLE PAUL L. MALONEY
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This is a prisoner civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendant Fosburg
filed a motion for summary judgment. The matter was referred to the Magistrate Judge, who issued
a Report and Recommendation on December 26, 2025, recommending that this Court grant the
motion. 	The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties. 	No objections have
been filed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 43) is
APPROVED and ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 21) is
GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that for the same reasons the Court concludes that
Plaintiff’s claims are properly dismissed, the Court also concludes that any issue Plaintiff might
raise on appeal would be frivolous. 	Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962).
Accordingly, the Court certifies that an appeal would not be taken in good faith.
