Michael Lee Stout, Plaintiff, v. Unknown Dobbs et al., Defendants.
ORDER
J. CAMPBELL BARKER United States District Judge
On June 11, 2021, plaintiff Michael Lee Stout, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil-rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Doc. 4.
On July 2, 2021, the magistrate judge instructed plaintiff to file an amended complaint within thirty days of receipt of the order. Doc. 10. Plaintiff failed to do so. On September 24, 2021, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending that plaintiff's case be dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution and failure to obey an order. Doc. 12. No objections have been filed.
When no party objects to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, the court reviews it only for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass'n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the magistrate judge's report and being satisfied that the report contains no clear error, the court accepts the findings and conclusions of the court. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with a court order.
So ordered .
