File No. 24-CV-03618 (JMB/DTS)

Plaintiff,
ORDER

v.
Regions Hospital,
Defendant.
William Howell, self-represented.

This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of
United States Magistrate Judge David T. Schultz dated October 9, 2024. (Doc. No. 4.)
The R&R recommends that this action be dismissed without prejudice under Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 41(b) for Plaintiff William Howell’s failure to prosecute. (See id.)
Neither party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has now passed. See D. Minn.
L.R. 72.2(b)(1).
In the absence of timely objections, the Court reviews the R&R for clear error. See
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).

1

Finding no clear error, and based upon all the files, records, and proceedings in the
above-captioned matter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.

The R&R (Doc. No. 4) is ADOPTED; and

2.

This matter is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.

Dated: November 22, 2024
