IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION

WILBERT LEWIS, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § § Case No. 6:19-CV-498-JDK-JDL MED PRACT MANAGER PAM PACE, § ET AL., § § Defendants. §

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Plaintiff Wilbert Lewis, an inmate proceeding pro se, filed the above-styled and numbered civil rights lawsuit pursuant to

. This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love pursuant to

. On December 23, 2019, Judge Love issued a Report and Recommendation (Docket No. 8), recommending that this civil action be dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution and failure to obey the Court’s order.

. A return receipt indicating delivery to Plaintiff was received by the Clerk on January 13, 2020. Docket No. 9. This Court reviews the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge de novo only if a party objects within fourteen days of service of the Report and Recommendation.

(b)(1). In conducting a de novo review, the Court examines the entire record and makes an independent assessment under the law. Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded on other grounds by statute,

(b)(1) (extending the time to file objections from ten to fourteen days). Here, Plaintiff did not file objections in the prescribed period. The Court therefore reviews the Magistrate Judge’s findings for clear error or abuse of discretion and reviews his legal conclusions to determine whether they are contrary to law. See United States v. Wilson,

(Sth Cir. 1989), cert. denied,

(1989) (holding that, if no objections to a Magistrate Judge’s Report are filed, the standard of review is “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law’’). Having reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (Docket No. 8) as the findings of this Court. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report (Docket No. 8) be ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs complaint is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for want of prosecution and failure to obey an order of the Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). So ORDERED and SIGNED this day of February, 2020. Gon D Korb JERQMY D RERNODIE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
