CIVIL ACTION NO. H-18-0557

ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
AND ORDER DISMISSING WITHOUT PREJUDICE
This court has reviewed the Memorandum and Recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge signed on November 5, 2018, and made a de novo determination. Rule 72(b), FED.
R. CIV. P.; 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219 (5th Cir. 1989). Based
on the pleadings, the record, and the applicable law, the court adopts the Memorandum and
Recommendation as this court’s Memorandum and Order. This court finds and concludes that the
motion to dismiss was properly granted and the claims against Mads Nipper and Henrik Christiansen
properly dismissed without prejudice. The Magistrate Judge’s recommendation to dismiss all claims
against defendants Nipper and Christiansen based on lack of personal jurisdiction is consistent with
and supported by the applicable legal standards. No objections were filed. The defendants’ motion
to dismiss, (Docket Entry No. 35), is granted.

SIGNED on December 6, 2018, at Houston, Texas.
