UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:20-cv-00527 Derek Clinton Ward, Plaintiff, v. Kevin Settle, Defendant.

ORDER On September 30, 2020, plaintiff Derek Clinton Ward, pro- ceeding pro se, filed this civil rights lawsuit pursuant to

. The case was referred to United States Magis- trate Judge John D. Love pursuant to

(b). Doc. 2. On October 20, 2020, the magistrate judge instructed plaintiff to file an initial partial filing fee. Doc. 8. Plaintiff failed to do so. On December 8, 2020, the magistrate judge en- tered a report recommending that plaintiff's case be dis- missed without prejudice for want of prosecution and failure to obey a court order. Doc. 10. Neither party objected to the report. When no party objects to a magistrate judge’s report, the court reviews its findings for clear error, abuse of discretion, and legal conclusions contrary to law. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n.,

(Sth Cir. 1996) (en banc). There being no objections, and the court being satisfied that the report contains no clear error, the court accepts the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice for failure to pros- ecute and for failure to comply with a court order. All motions not previously ruled on are denied. The clerk of court is di- rected to close this case.

So ordered by the court on January 26, 2021. fale BARKER United States District Judge
