Landry v. Townsend

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00057 Stephen Landry, Plaintiff, v. Lonnie Townsend et al., Defendants.

ORDER Plaintiff Stephen Landry, an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice proceeding pro se, filed this civil-rights lawsuit pur- suant 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 March 1, 2023, the magistrate judge submitted a report rec- ommending that plaintiff’s claims against defendants Townsend, an unnamed Law Library Clerk, and Ponce be dismissed as frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Doc.

10. Plaintiff’s other claims are proceeding as instructed by separate order. Doc. 9. A copy of the report was mailed to plaintiff, who re- ceived it on March 6, 2023, and has not filed an objection within the time permitted. Doc. 11.

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. Defendants Townsend, Ponce, and Law Library Clerk, as well as all claims about government control devices, guidance sys- tems, or frequencies, are dismissed from this suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915A(b) and 1915(e)(2)(B).

So ordered by the court on May 10, 2023.
