Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

BRIAN BAGLEY,

Plaintiff, 9:20-cv-00683 (BKS/DJS)

v.

CHRISTOPHER MILLER, et al.,

Defendants.

Appearances: Plaintiff, pro se: Brian Bagley 17-B-0112 Green Haven Correctional Facility P.O. Box 4000 Stormville, NY 12582 For Defendants: Letitia James Attorney General for the State of New York Konstandinos D. Leris The Capitol Albany, NY 12224 Hon. Brenda K. Sannes, United States District Judge: MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER Plaintiff Brian Bagley, a New York State inmate proceeding pro se, commenced this civil rights action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

asserting claims arising out of his incarceration at the Green Haven Correctional Facility. (Dkt. No. 1). On November 12, 2020, Defendant Christopher Miller filed a partial motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), seeking to dismiss the claims against him for failure to allege his personal involvement in the alleged constitutional violations. (Dkt. No. 16). Plaintiff filed a response on January 22, 2021. (Dkt. No. 22). This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart who, on April 8, 2021, issued a Report-Recommendation recommending that Defendant’s motion to dismiss be granted because Plaintiff had failed to allege that Defendant Miller had, through his own individual actions, violated the constitution, as required by Tangreti v. Bachmann,

983 F.3d 609, 618

(2d Cir. 2020). (Dkt. No. 23). Magistrate Judge Stewart advised the parties that under

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1), they had fourteen days within which to file written objections to the report, and that the failure to object to the report within fourteen days would preclude appellate review. (Dkt. No. 23, at 5—6). No objections have been filed. As no objections to the Report-Recommendation have been filed, and the time for filing objections has expired, the Court reviews the Report-Recommendation for clear error. See Petersen v. Astrue,

2 F. Supp. 3d 223, 228-29

(N.D.N.Y. 2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note to 1983 amendment. Having reviewed the Report-Recommendation for clear error and found none, the Court adopts the Report-Recommendation in its entirety. For these reasons, it is ORDERED that the Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 23) is ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED that Defendant Miller’s partial motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 16) is GRANTED, and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order upon the parties in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED.
