Jimerson v. Gregg County Sheriff Office

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:22-cv-00323 Quintlin Jimerson, Plaintiff, V. Gregg County Sheriff Office et al., Defendants.

ORDER Plaintiff Quintlin Jimerson, an inmate proceeding pro se and 7 forma pauperis, filed this civil-rights lawsuit pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983

. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b). Doc. 2. On January 26, 2023, the magistrate judge instructed plaintiff to supply an updated address by February 21, 2023. Doc. 17. The order was mailed to plaintiff at his last known address at the Hutchins Unit in Dallas, Texas, on January 26, 2023. On February 17, 2023, the acknowledgement receipt was returned to the court with the nota- tion that plaintiff received the order on February 6, 2023. Plaintiff did not comply with the order. On March 7, 2023, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending that plaintiff’s case be dismissed for want of prosecution and failure to obey an order. Doc. 20. The report noted that plaintiff failed to provide a change of address to the court. On March 29, 2023, the report was returned to the court marked “return to sender” and “undeliverable.” Doc. 21. Plaintiff has since been released from the Texas prison system. No objections have been 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

(Sth 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. This case is dismissed with prejudice. So ordered by the court on April 19, 2023. faboke BARKER United States District Judge
