Behling v. Kiel

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

No. 6:21-cv-00248 Scott T. Behling,

Plaintiff, v. Paul Kiel et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER

Plaintiff Scott T. Behling, proceeding pro se, filed this civil- rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was referred to United States Magistrate John D. Love pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Docs. 1, 2.

On September 17, 2021, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that plaintiff’s case be dismissed without preju- dice due to plaintiff’s failure to comply with the court’s orders and prosecute his case. Doc. 8. On October 4, 2021, the magis- trate judge granted a fourteen-day extension to object to the re- port. Doc. 11. No objections were filed.

When no party objects to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the court reviews it only for clear error. See Douglass United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satisfied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its find- ings and recommendation. This case is dismissed without preju- dice.

So ordered by the court on December 1, 2021. jl CAMPBELL BARKER United States District Judge
