ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
BEFORE THE COURT is the [27] Report and Recommendation entered in
this matter by Magistrate Judge Robert P. Myers, Jr. on January 10, 2025. In the
Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge conducts a thorough analysis
and recommends that the pending [20] Motion to Dismiss be granted. Where no
party has objected to the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation, the Court
need not conduct a de novo review of it. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (“A judge of the
court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified
proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”). In such cases,
the Court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the
record. Douglass v. United Servs. Auto Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996) (en
banc), superseded by statute on other grounds, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Plaintiff requested additional time to respond to the [27] Report and
Recommendation. The Court extended his deadline to February 19, 2025. See Text
Only Order Jan. 29, 2025. Plaintiff did not file a response or objection to the report.
Thus, the Court need not conduct a de novo review. Having conducted the required
review for clear error, the Court finds that Judge Myers’ well-reasoned Report and
Recommendation is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Report and
Recommendation [27] of Magistrate Judge Robert P. Myers, Jr. entered on January
10, 2025, is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 10th day of March, 2025.
