ORDER
Allen L. Fleetwood and Ricky John Murphy, two Michigan prisoners proceeding without benefit of counsel, appeal from the order of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of defendants. This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).
Seeking monetary damages, the plaintiffs brought this civil rights suit against twenty-two Department of Corrections employees. Generally, the plaintiffs objected to conditions existing and disciplinary measures taken at Michigan's Ionia Maximum Facility.
The case was submitted to a magistrate who recommended granting summary judgment in favor of defendants. The district court adopted the magistrate's report and recommendation as the opinion of the court over plaintiffs' objections. The court held that none of the defendants' actions amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. See Walker v. Mintzes, 771 F.2d 920, 932 (6th Cir.1985).
Upon review, we find no error. Accordingly, we hereby affirm the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants for the reasons set forth in the magistrate's report and recommendation dated August 10, 1989, as adopted by the district court in its opinion dated September 27, 1989. Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
The Honorable Leon Jordan, U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Tennessee, sitting by designation
