UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:19-cv-00048 Daniel McCormick, Plaintiff, V. Sheriff Castaloo et al., Defendants. Before BARKER, District Judge ORDER Before the court are the findings of fact and recommenda- tion of United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell re- garding plaintiffs civil rights lawsuit complaining of the opening of his mail by jail staff at the Wood County Jail. Having conducted a proceeding in the form and manner prescribed by

(b)(1) and (3), the magistrate judge recommended that the lawsuit be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Doc. 11. A copy of this re- port was sent to the plaintiff at his last known address on Oc- tober 17, 2019, but was returned as undeliverable. Doc. 12. Since that date, no objections have been received, nor has plaintiff contacted the court in any way. Plaintiff is therefore barred from appealing the factual findings and legal conclu- sions of the magistrate judge which are accepted and adopted by the district court except upon grounds of clear error. Douglass v. United Services Automobile Association,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc) (cleaned up). Upon review, the court finds no clear error. Accordingly, the findings of fact and recommendation of the magistrate judge (Doc. 11) are hereby adopted. It is therefore ordered that the above-styled civil action is dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Any

motions which may be pending in this civil action are hereby denied. So ordered by the court on December 12, 2019. flacloebac United States District Judge
