UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT October 25, 2021 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS Nathan Ochsner, Clerk CORPUS CHRISTI DIVISION R. WAYNE JOHNSON, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § Civil Action No. 2:02-CV-00107 § JANA WHATLEY, JOEL B. JOHNSON; § CHARLES ELDRED, § § Defendants. § ORDER ACCEPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION Before the Court is the May 7, 2021 Memorandum and Recommendation (“M&R”) signed by Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton. (Dkt. No. 30). Magistrate Judge Hampton recommends that the Court deny pro se Plaintiff R. Wayne Johnson’s Motion to Vacate, which was construed as a motion for relief from judgment. (Dkt. No. 29). This is the second time Johnson has filed a motion for relief from judgment in this case. (Dkt. No. 30 at 1). The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the M&R. See

(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No party filed objections. As a result, review is straightforward: plain error. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc.,

(5th Cir. 2005). No plain error appears. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS the M&R as the Court’s Memorandum Opinion and Order. The Court DENIES Johnson’s motion for relief from judgment. (Dkt. No. 29). Johnson is instructed that should he wish to seek further relief from these Orders, he should do so with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. To the extent Johnson files anything that relates to requesting relief from the judgment in this

case, the Court will instruct the Clerk to automatically return those filings to Johnson without docketing. It is SO ORDERED. Signed on October 25, 2021. R J
