UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00228 Jay Williams, Plaintiff, v. Betty Herriage, Defendant.

ORDER Plaintiff Jay Williams, an inmate proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights lawsuit under

without paying the filing fee or moving to proceed 7x forma pauperis. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell pursuant to

(b). On June 20, 2023, the magistrate judge issued a report recom- mending that the plaintiff be denied leave to proceed in forma pau- peris and this case be dismissed without prejudice due to the plain- tiff’s failure to prosecute and to comply with the court’s order to ei- ther pay the fee or file a properly supported motion to proceed as a pauper. Doc. 4. A copy of the report was mailed to the 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,

(5th 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 plaintiff is denied leave to proceed 7m forma pauperis, and this case is dismissed without prejudice.

So ordered by the court on August 10, 2023.
