CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:14cv894

MEMORANDUM ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
AND ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
The Plaintiff Shawn Glidden, proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights lawsuit under 42
U.S.C. §1983 complaining of alleged deprivations of his constitutional rights. This Court ordered
that the matter be referred to the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)
and (3) and the Amended Order for the Adoption of Local Rules for the Assignment of Duties to
United States Magistrate Judges.
Glidden, a former inmate of the Gregg County Jail, filed a motion for injunctive relief asking
that the Court order law library access for him. After the motion was filed, Glidden was transferred
out of the jail. The magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the motion for injunctive
relief be denied as moot. No objections were filed to the report; accordingly, the parties are barred
from de novo review by the district judge of those findings, conclusions, and recommendations and,
except upon grounds of plain error, from appellate review of the unobjected-to proposed factual
findings and legal conclusions accepted and adopted by the district court.

Douglass v. United

Services Automobile Association, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996) (en banc).
The Court has reviewed the pleadings in this cause and the report of the magistrate judge.
Upon such review, the Court has determined the report of the magistrate judge is correct. See United
States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 492 U.S. 918, 109 S.Ct. 3243 (1989)

1

.
(where no objections to a magistrate judge’s report are filed, the standard of review is “clearly
erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law.”) It is accordingly
ORDERED that the report of the magistrate judge (docket no. 17) is ADOPTED as the
opinion of the District Court. It is further
ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief (docket no. 10) is hereby
DENIED as moot.
SIGNED this 3rd day of March, 2016.
