UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA
AARON LAVERN KEEL, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) Case No. CIV-24-1093-G ) GRADY COUNTY CRIMINAL ) JUSTICE AUTHORITY et al., ) ) Defendants. )
ORDER Plaintiff Aaron Lavern Keel, a state inmate appearing pro se, initiated this federal civil rights action on October 21, 2024. In accordance with
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin for preliminary review. Judge Erwin has now issued a Report and Recommendation (“R. & R.,” Doc. No. 7) recommending that Plaintiff’s claims be dismissed on screening pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Plaintiff has filed an Objection to the R. & R. See Doc. No. 8. Pursuant to controlling authority, the Court reviews de novo the portions of the R. & R. to which specific objections have been made. See United States v. 2121 E. 30th St.,
73 F.3d 1057, 1060(10th Cir. 1996);
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). Plaintiff’s Objection largely reurges the merit of his legal claims and provides additional information regarding the alleged seriousness of his medical issues. See Pl.’s Obj. at 2-9. Nothing therein evinces any error in Judge Erwin’s findings or in his conclusion that Plaintiff fails to plausibly plead a theory under which the defendants could be held liable under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. See R. & R. at 3-5. Accordingly, Plaintiffs Objection is overruled. CONCLUSION Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 7) is ADOPTED in its entirety. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice. A separate judgment shall be entered. IT IS SO ORDERED this 12th day of August, 2025.
