Bryant v. Pedro

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:22-cv-00137 Jerome Bryant, Plaintiff, V. Officer Olayinka M. Pedro et al., Defendants.

ORDER Plaintiff Jerome Bryant, a prisoner of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights lawsuit under

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 August 2, 2023, the magistrate judge issued a report recom- mending that the defendants’ motions for summary judgment be granted and that this case be dismissed without prejudice for plain- tiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Doc. 51. Plaintiff re- ceived the report on August 8, 2023, but did not file timely objec- tions. Doc. 52. 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. The court grants defendants’ motions (Docs. 37, 50) and dis- misses this case without prejudice. So ordered by the court on September 7, 2023. _[Lacbonk BARKER United States District Judge
