Angel-Crowell v. TDCJ Mark W. Michael's Unit

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00048 Brandon James Angel-Crowell, Plaintiff, V. TDCJ Mark W. Michael’s Unit et al., Defendants.

ORDER Plaintiff Brandon James Angel-Crowell, an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice proceeding pro se and 7 forma pau- peris, 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).

On February 21, 2023, the magistrate judge submitted a report recommending that plaintiff’s claims against the Michael Unit be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Doc. 15. Plaintiff’s claims against other defendants are pro- ceeding as instructed by separate order. Doc. 14. A copy of the report was mailed to plaintiff, who received it on February 28, 2023, and has not filed an objection within the time permitted. Doc. 26.

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. Plaintiff’s claims against the Michael Unit are dismissed from this suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b).

So ordered by the court on April 28, 2023. fold BARKER United States District Judge
