CIVIL ACTION H-16-3476

ORDER
Pending before the court is a memorandum and recommendation (“M&R”) entered by
Magistrate Judge Nancy Johnson on October 30, 2017. Dkt. 54. The Magistrate Judge recommends
dismissing plaintiff Charleston Singletary’s claims (Dkt. 11) for want of jurisdiction. Id. Singletary
did not file any objections to the M&R. After reviewing the M&R, the various motions to dismiss,
and the applicable law, the court agrees with the Magistrate Judge that Singletary’s claims should
be dismissed. The court finds no clear error on the face of the record. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b),
Advisory Comm. Note (1983). Accordingly, the M&R is ADOPTED IN FULL, and Singletary’s
claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The court will enter a final judgment consistent
with this order.
Signed at Houston, Texas on November 16, 2017.
