DEMETRIC SIMMONS,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 3:25-cv-1764-AW-HTC
GEO CORPORATION, JOHN DOE,
and JOHN DOE,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff, a pro se prisoner, sued two unnamed guards and a private prison
contractor. His basic claim is that they failed to protect him from inmate violence.
The magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation concluding the court
should dismiss for failure to state a claim. ECF No. 20. Plaintiff has filed objections
to the report and recommendation, ECF No. 22, and I have considered de novo the
issues he raised.
After a careful review, I agree with the magistrate judge. Plaintiff has not
alleged facts stating any plausible claim. I now adopt the report and recommendation
and incorporate it into this order. The objections are overruled.
The clerk will enter a judgment that says, “This case is dismissed pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) for failure to state a claim.” The clerk will then close
the file.
