Baxter v. Corpus Christi Police Department

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT April 12, 2023 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS Nathan Ochsner, Clerk CORPUS CHRISTI DIVISION EDWARD BAXTER, § § Plaintiffs, § § v. § Civil Action No. 2:22-CV-00139 § CORPUS CHRISTI POLICE § DEPARTMENT, § § Defendant. § ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE Pending before the Court is the November 9, 2022, Memorandum and Recommendation (“M&R”) prepared by Magistrate Judge Mitchel Neurock. (Dkt. No. 21). Magistrate Judge Neurock made findings and conclusions and recommended that Plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed for want of prosecution. (Id.). The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the M&R. See

28 U.S.C. § 636

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

434 F.3d 303, 308

(5th Cir. 2005). No plain error appears. Accordingly, the Court accepts the M&R and adopts it as the opinion of the Court. It is therefore ordered that: (1) Magistrate Judge Neurock’s M&R, (Dkt. No. 21) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and (2) Plaintiff’s Complaint, (Dkt. No. 1), is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. It is SO ORDERED.
