ORDER Plaintiff Jonathan Roy Ridge, a former inmate of the Gregg County Jail proceeding pro se, filed a civil-rights lawsuit under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

while he was incarcerated. The case was referred this case to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b). After all other defendants were dismissed, defendant White moved for summary judgment on the grounds that plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies before filing suit as required by Title 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). Docs. 22, 26. On January 9, 2023, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that defendant White’s motion be granted and that this case be dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Doc. 32. No objections were filed. 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. The court dismisses this case. So ordered by the court on February 10, 2023. fabs BARKER United States District Judge
