ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION BEFORE THE COURT is United States Magistrate Judge Ronald C. Griffin’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) filed in the above-captioned cause on July 5, 2023, in connection with Plaintiff Gregory Scott’s Motion to Remand to State Court and Defendant Texas Mutual Insurance Company’s Motion to Remand to State Court. (Doc. 19) This matter was referred to the Magistrate Judge.1 None of the parties filed objections, and the deadline to do so has expired. Any party who desires to object to a Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations must serve and file written objections within 14 days after being served with a copy of the findings and recommendations.2 Failure to file written objections to the R&R within 14 days after being served with a copy shall bar that party from de novo review by the district court of the proposed findings and recommendations.3

(b)(1). 3

What’s more, except upon grounds of plain error, it shall also bar the party from appellate review of proposed factual findings and legal conclusions accepted by the district court to which no objections were filed.* Having reviewed the R&R, the Court finds it neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. Thus, the Court ADOPTS the R&R and GRANTS both motions. It is therefore ORDERED that Plaintiff Gregory Scott’s Motion to Remand to State Court and Defendant Texas Mutual Insurance Company’s Motion to Remand to State Court be GRANTED. (Docs. 9, 11). It is also ORDERED that this case be remanded to the 142nd District Court of Midland County, Texas. It is aso ORDERED that any other pending motions be DENIED AS MOOT It is so ORDERED. SIGNED this 20th day of July, 2023.
