District Court, E.D. Texas

Douglas v. Smith County

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00037 Roderick Lamond Douglas, Plaintiff, v. Smith County, Defendants.

ORDER Plaintiff Roderick Lamond Douglas, an inmate proceeding pro se, filed this civil-rights lawsuit under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

without pay- ing the filing fee. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b). On May 26, 2023, the magistrate judge issued a report recom- mending that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed tn forma pauperis be denied and that this case be dismissed for failure to prosecute and to comply with the court’s orders. Doc. 11. A copy of the report was mailed to plaintiff, who did not file written objections. 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 unsupported motion to proceed 7m forma pauperis (Doc. 4) is denied, and this case is dismissed. So ordered by the court on July 7, 2023. —faacboke BARKER United States District Judge
