The Report and Recommendation was filed July 17, 2025. This Court hereby adopts Judge Howell’s Recommendations.

(b); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). A district court need not consider “[f]rivolous, conclusive, or general objections.” Battle v. U.S. Parole Comm’n,

(5th Cir. 1987) (quoting Nettles v. Wainwright,

, 410 n.8 (5th Cir. 1982) (en banc), overruled on other grounds by Douglass v. United States Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996)). Plaintiff filed objections on August 1, 2025. Dkt. 24. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the Complaint, the Report and Recommendation, the objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the applicable laws. After that thorough review, the Court is persuaded that the Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendation should be adopted. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Dustin M. Howell, Dkt. 23, is ADOPTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Blakely’s motion to dismiss, Dkt. 11, is DISMISSED AS MOOT. IT IS ALSO ORDERED that Blakely’s amended motion to dismiss Skylyne’s civil- conspiracy claim against him, Dkt. 20, is GRANTED. IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that ABL’s motion for summary judgment, Dkt. 13, is GRANTED.

SIGNED on September 10, 2025.
