Reynolds v. Griffin

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA

DASHONE MARCEL REYNOLDS CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS NO. 22-1305

LT. GRIFFIN, ET AL. SECTION “R” (2)

ORDER Plaintiff’s complaint alleging claims under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

was referred to Magistrate Judge Donna Phillips Currault for a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) and to conduct an evidentiary hearing if necessary. Magistrate Judge Currault conducted a Spears hearing, reviewed the complaint sua sponte for frivolousness under

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2) and § 1915A and 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(c), and recommended dismissal of plaintiff’s claims as frivolous and otherwise without merit.1 Plaintiff did not object to the R&R. Therefore, this Court reviews the R&R for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

79 F.3d 1415, 1430

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded by statute on other grounds,

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note (1983) (“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.”). The

1 R. Doc. 13. Court finds no clear error. Therefore, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Currault’s R&R as its opinion. Accordingly, the Court orders plaintiffs complaint DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to all defendants.
