UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

William Howell,                       File No. 24-CV-03618 (JMB/DTS)      

     Plaintiff,                                                      

v.                                             ORDER                      

Regions Hospital,                                                         

     Defendant.                                                      

William Howell, self-represented.                                         


This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of 
United States Magistrate Judge David T. Schultz dated October 9, 2024.  (Doc. No. 4.)  
The R&R recommends that this action be dismissed without prejudice under Federal Rule 
of Civil Procedure 41(b) for Plaintiff William Howell’s failure to prosecute.  (See id.)  
Neither party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has now passed.  See D. Minn. 
L.R. 72.2(b)(1).                                                          
In the absence of timely objections, the Court reviews the R&R for clear error.  See 
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Grinder v. Gammon, 

 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). 
Finding no clear error, and based upon all the files, records, and proceedings in the 
above-captioned matter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:                        

1.   The R&R (Doc. No. 4) is ADOPTED; and                            

2.   This matter is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.                     

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
