Accordingly, Plaintiff's civil rights action is DISMISSED with prejudice as frivolous and malicious pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), and this case is CLOSED.
As noted by the Fifth Circuit, “[t]he advisory committee's note to Rule 72(b) states that, ‘[w]hen no timely objection is filed, the [district] court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.'” Douglas v.
