ORDER Plaintiff Keith Rosell White, an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice proceeding pro se, filed this civil-rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).

Doc. 2.

On November 3, 2022, the magistrate judge submitted a report recommending that plaintiff’s claims against defendants Townsend and Chapman be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Doc. 3. Plaintiff’s other claims are proceeding as instructed by separate order. /d. at 3. A copy of the report was mailed to plaintiff, who has not filed an objection within the time permitted.

When no party objects to the magistrate judge’s report and rec- ommendation, the court reviews it only for clear error. See Douglass vy. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996). Hav- ing reviewed the magistrate judge’s report and being satisfied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommen- dation. Defendants Townsend and Chapman dismissed from this suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b).

So ordered by the court on January 23, 2023. fLacbok BARKER United States District Judge
