BRANDON ROBINSON, Plaintiff, v. DCARO OAO, Defendant.
ORDER
RODNEY GILSTRAP UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Brandon Robinson filed a complaint against defendant “DCARA OAO” on June 10, 2021, seeking “review” of an “Administrative Law Judge's action” in a claim for “disability benefits.” (Dkt. No. 1). On the same day, Robinson moved to proceed in forma pauperis. (Dkt. No. 2). Shortly thereafter, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Payne for pretrial purposes. On June 27, 2022, Magistrate Judge Payne ordered Robinson to “refile his complaint to include a jurisdictional statement and a properly named defendant, along with details concerning the action from which he is trying to appeal.” (Dkt. No. 4). Thereafter, no further action was taken until February 6, 2023, when Magistrate Judge Payne recommended dismissal without prejudice for failure to prosecute and further recommended suspending the statute of limitations for sixty (60) days upon dismissal. (Dkt. No. 5). Again, no further action was taken by or on behalf of Brandon Robinson.
Because no objections have been filed and for the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, the Recommendation is ADOPTED. It is therefore ORDERED that the above captioned case be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE and that the statute of limitations be SUSPENDED for sixty (60) days from the date of this Order and Final Judgment regarding the same. Campbell v. Wilkinson, 988 F.3d 798, 801 n.1 (5th Cir. 2021) (explaining that “[w]here further litigation of [a] claim will be time-barred, a dismissal without prejudice is no less severe a sanction than a dismissal with prejudice, and the same standard of review is used.”).
So ORDERED
