JUAN ORTIZ, Plaintiff, v. CHARLES ADAMS, DEBORAH KENDAL, NURSE SUTTON, Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Juan Ortiz initiated this civil action on June 5, 2017. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love, who issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the case be dismissed without prejudice for failure to obey a court order and failure to prosecute. (Doc. No. 11.) On October 2, 2018 Plaintiff received a copy of the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. Docket No. 12. The Report and Recommendation informed Plaintiff of his rights to object to the Report and Recommendation within 14 days, and further informed him that a failure to timely object shall bar "the objecting party from appealing the factual findings and legal conclusions of the Magistrate Judge that are accepted and adopted by the district court except upon grounds of plain error." Docket No. 11 at 3 (citing Douglass v. United States Auto. Ass'n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996)). Since the service of the Report and Recommendation on October 2, 2018, Plaintiff has not filed objections and the prescribed time period for doing so has passed.
Having reviewed the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge. Therefore, the Court hereby adopts the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge as the findings and conclusions of the Court. It is accordingly ORDERED that the complaint is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
So ORDERED and SIGNED February 2, 2019.
