CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:15cv306

MEMORANDUM ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
AND ENTERING FINAL JUDGMENT
This lawsuit was part of a larger complaint which was severed into cases for each listed
plaintiff. Upon severance, the individual plaintiffs were directed to file amended complaints and pay
the filing fee or seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis. When the Plaintiff in this case did not do
so, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the lawsuit be dismissed. A copy of this
report was sent to the Plaintiff at his last known address, return receipt requested, but no objections
have been received; accordingly, he is 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 that 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) (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

1

.
ORDERED that the report of the magistrate judge (docket no. 5) is ADOPTED as the
opinion of the District Court. It is further
ORDERED that the above-styled civil action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
for failure to prosecute or to obey an order of the Court. Finally, it is
ORDERED that any and all motions which may be pending in this action are hereby
DENIED.
SIGNED this 21st day of March, 2016.
