SHEPARD H. SAMUELS CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS NO. 23-1072

STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY SECTION “R” (5) COMPANY

ORDER Before the Court is plaintiff’s opposed1 motion to enforce settlement.2 The Court has reviewed the complaint,3 plaintiff’s motion, the record, the applicable law, and Chief Magistrate Judge Michael North’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”).4 On April 22, 2025, Chief Magistrate Judge North issued an R&R, recommending that the Court deny plaintiff’s motion to enforce settlement.5 Plaintiff did not object to the R&R. Therefore, the Court reviews the R&R for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded by statute on other grounds,

(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note (1983) (“When no timely objection is filed, the court need

1 R. Doc. 30. 2 R. Doc. 28. 3 R. Doc. 1. 4 R. Doc. 33. 5

only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the reeommendation.”). The Court finds no clear error. Accordingly, the Court adopts the Magistrate Judge’s R&R as its opinion. The Court DENIES plaintiffs motion to enforce settlement.
