CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:22-CV-00275

ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jason Libby ' s Memorandum and Recommendation
("M&R"). (D.E. 11). The M&R recommends that the Court DISMISS Plaintiff Joseph A.
Stanford' s case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failing to comply with court
order. Id. at 1, 2.
The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate
Judge's M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l); FED. R. Crv. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No
objection has been filed. 1 When no timely objection has been filed, the district court need only
determine whether the Magistrate Judge ' s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United
States v. Wilson , 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan
Servicing, LP, No. CIV. A. H-14-2700, 2015 WL 3823141 , at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015).

Having carefully reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the
filings of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly
erroneous or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 11). The Court

1

The same day the M&R was filed, Plaintiff Joseph Stanford filed a letter regarding his case. See (D.E.
12). However, the letter was largely illegible and the portions that were legible did not reference the M&R.
As such, this letter cannot be construed as an objection to the M&R.
