Spencer v. Selgas

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:21-cv-00347 George Spencer, Plaintiff, V. Tom Selgas et al., Defendants.

ORDER Plaintiff George Spencer initiated this action in state court as- serting a claim concerning patent-application rights. The action was removed to federal court and is referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell. Docs. 1, 3.

The magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the mo- tion to dissolve temporary restraining order and award costs be granted in part and denied in part. Doc. 17. No party objected to the report and recommendation. When a party fails to object to a mag- istrate judge’s report, the court reviews the record only for clear er- ror. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5 Cir. 1996).

Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satis- fied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. The court grants the motion (Doc. 5) to dissolve the temporary restraining order and denies the motion to award costs.

So ordered by the court on October 19, 2021. fabs BARKER United States District Judge
