FIKES FOR FAILURE TO SERVE On December 15, 2025, United States Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby issued his “Memorandum and Recommendation to Dismiss Warden J. Fikes for Failure to Serve” (D.E. 32).

No objections have been timely filed.

When no timely objection to a magistrate judge’s memorandum and recommendation is filed, the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record and accept the magistrate judge’s memorandum and recommendation. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th Cir. 2005) (citing Douglass v. United Servs. Auto Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996)).

Having reviewed the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the Magistrate Judge’s memorandum and recommendation (D.E. 32), and all other relevant documents in the record, and finding no clear error, the Court ADOPTS as its own the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Defendant Warden J. Fikes is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to timely serve him with the complaint.

ORDERED on January 22, 2026.
