SA-22-CV-601-FB § BEXAR COUNTY; DEPUTY LEONEL § ELIZONDO; and DEPUTY ROLAND § GARZA, § § Defendants. § ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE The Court has considered the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge filed in the above-captioned cause on January 19, 2024 (docket #37), concerning Defendant Bexar County’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint (docket #28) and Defendants Deputy Leonel Elizondo’s and Deputy Roland Garza’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint (docket #34). According to the CM/ECF system, the Report and Recommendation was electronically transmitted to all the parties on January 22, 2024. To date, the docket reflects no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been received.1 Because no party has objected to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, the Court need not conduct a de novo review. See

(b)(1) ("A judge of the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings and 1 Any party who desires to object to a Magistrate's findings and recommendations must serve and file his, her or its written objections within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the findings and recommendation.

(b)(1). If service upon a party is made by mailing a copy to the party's last known address, “service is complete upon mailing .” FED. R. CIV. P. 5(b)(2)(C). If service is made by electronic means, “service is complete upon transmission.”

at (E). When the mode of service is by electronic means, three days are no longer added to the time period to act after being served. See Heverling v. McNeil Consumer Pharmaceuticals, Co., Civil Action No. 1:17-CV-1433, 2018 WL recommendations to which objection is made."). The Court has reviewed the Report and finds its reasoning to be neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. United States v. Wilson,

(5th Cir.), cert. denied,

(1989). The Recommendation shall therefore be accepted pursuant to

(b)(1) such that Defendant Bexar County’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’ □ Second Amended Complaint (docket #28) and Defendants Deputy Leonel Elizondo’s and Deputy Roland Garza’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint (docket #34) shall be GRANTED and all of Plaintiff Lopez’s claims shall be DISMISSED. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge filed in this cause on January 19, 2024 (docket #37), is ACCEPTED pursuant to

(b)(1) such that Defendant Bexar County’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint (docket #28) and Defendants Deputy Leonel Elizondo’s and Deputy Roland Garza’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint (docket #34) are GRANTED and all of Plaintiff Lopez’s claims are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
