BERNADETTE WHITFIELD, Plaintiff, v. BROOKE SPITZER, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
On March 25, 2021, United States Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby issued his "Memorandum and Recommendation" (D.E. 30), recommending that Defendant's Motion for Leave to Designate Responsible Third Party (D.E. 22) be denied as untimely. The parties were provided proper notice of, and opportunity to object to, the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Recommendation. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); General Order No. 2002-13. No objections have been timely filed.
When no timely objection to a magistrate judge's memorandum and recommendation is filed, the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record and accept the magistrate judge's memorandum and recommendation. Guillory v. PPG Industries, Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th Cir. 2005) (citing Douglass v. United Services Auto Ass'n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996)).
Having reviewed the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Recommendation (D.E. 30), and all other relevant documents in the record, and finding no clear error, the Court ADOPTS as its own the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, Defendant's motion for leave to designate responsible third party (D.E. 22) is DENIED.
ORDERED this 13th day of April, 2021.
