UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:24-cv-00082 Holly Lake Ranch Association, Inc. Plaintiff, V. Philip J. Emerson, Jr., et al., Defendants.

ORDER Defendant Philip J. Emerson, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of removal on March 8, 2024. Doc. 1. On May 1, 2024, a magistrate judge issued an order for defendant to show cause why his case should not be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. De- fendant did not respond by the deadline set by the magistrate judge. On May 30, 2024, the magistrate judge issued a report recom- mending that the matter be remanded to state court. Doc. 5. No party filed written objections. When a party fails to object to a mag- istrate judge’s report, the court reviews the record only for clear er- ror. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc). Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satis- fied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. The court remands this case to the court in which it originated. Any pending motions are denied as moot. The clerk of court is directed to close this case. So ordered by the court on July 29, 2024.
