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

§ BRANDON GOBER, #1942989, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § Case No. 6:20-cv-466-JDK-KNM § SHELLY BALDWYN, § § Defendant. § §

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell pursuant to

. On October 5, 2020, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the action be dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution and failure to obey an order of the Court. Docket No. 6. 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(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded on other grounds by statute,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 object 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,

(5th 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, the Court finds no clear error or abuse of discretion and no conclusions contrary to law. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (Docket No. 6) as the findings of this Court. It is therefore ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED, without prejudice, for want of prosecution and Plaintiff's failure to comply with an order of the Court. Finally, itis ORDERED that any and all motions which may be pending in this case are hereby DENIED as MOOT. So ORDERED and SIGNED this 5th day of November, 2020. ) UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
