CIVIL ACTION H-16-3269

ORDER
Pending before the court is a memorandum and recommendation filed by Magistrate Judge
Nancy K. Johnson (“M&R”). Dkt. 46. The court had previously granted plaintiff Robert Hall’s
motion for default against defendant Adolphus Cannon. Dkt. 43. Judge Johnson conducted a
hearing to determine damages. See Dkt. 45. After hearing testimony, the M&R recommended that
judgment be entered against Cannon in the amount of $7,500. Dkt. 46 at 3.
Objections to the M&R were due on May 9, 2019. Id. Cannon did not object. “When no
timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of
the record in order to accept the recommendation.” See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), Advisory Comm. Note
(1983). The court, having reviewed the M&R, the motion, and the applicable law, and having
received no objections, finds no clear error. Thus, the court ADOPTS IN FULL the M&R (Dkt. 46).
For the reasons stated in the M&R, it is ORDERED that Cannon shall pay to Hall the sum of $7,500
in damages.
Signed at Houston, Texas on May 23, 2019.
