BEAUMONT DIVISION GEORGE EDWARD PURDY § VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:21cv591 AARON J. TOMPKINS, ET AL. §
MEMORANDUM ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Geroge Edward Purdy, an inmate at the LeBlanc Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division, proceeding pro se , brought the above-styled lawsuit.
The court referred this matter to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. The Magistrate Judge recommends the action be dismissed with prejudice for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Additionally, the magistrate judge recommended declining the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction.
The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States ____________________________ Michael J. Truncale Magistrate Judge filed pursuant to such referral, along with the record and pleadings. Plaintiff filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. This requires a de novo review of the objections in relation to the pleadings and the applicable law. See F ED . R. C IV . P. 72(b).
After careful consideration, the court concludes plaintiff’s objections are without merit. Plaintiff’s allegations amount to no more than a disagreement with medical professionals, medical malpractice, or negligence. Plaintiff’s claims do not rise to the level of egregious intentional *2 Case 1:21-cv-00591-MJT-ZJH Document 26 Filed 03/11/25 Page 2 of 2 PageID #:
