Keith Rosell White, Plaintiff, v. Lonnie E. Townsend IV et al., Defendants.


ORDER

J. CAMPBELL BARKER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Plaintiff Keith Rosell White, an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice proceeding pro se, 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. 2.

On November 3, 2022, the magistrate judge submitted a report recommending that plaintiff's claims against defendants Townsend and Chapman be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Doc. 3. Plaintiff's other claims are proceeding as instructed by separate order. Id. at 3. A copy of the report was mailed to plaintiff, who has not filed an objection within the time permitted.

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 it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. Defendants Townsend and Chapman dismissed from this suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b).

So ordered.
