ORDER AND JUDGMENT(*)


Before TACHA, Chief Circuit Judge, McKAY and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges.


After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

This is a pro se state prisoner 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights appeal. Ms. Henry-Fields filed her complaint seeking redress for numerous alleged violations of her constitutional rights. Among other things, she alleged deliberate indifference to her medical needs and that the conditions of confinement at Central Oklahoma Correctional Facility pose a substantial risk to the inmate population. The magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation detailing each of Ms. Henry-Fields' claims.

After consideration of Ms. Henry-Fields' objections, the district court adopted the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. The district court denied Ms. Henry-Fields' request for class certification, granted Dominion Defendants'(1) Motion for Summary Judgment because Appellant failed to exhaust administrative remedies, and dismissed the claims against Defendants Correctional Medical Services, Inc., and Karen Costa pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) for failure to state a claim. Ms. Henry-Fields appeals to this court.

After a thorough review of the briefs and the record, and for substantially the same reasons set forth in the district court's well-reasoned July 26, 2002, Order adopting the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, we hold that no relief is available to Ms. Henry-Fields pursuant to § 1983.

The decision of the trial court is AFFIRMED.
