Larry Joe Williams, Plaintiff, v. Gregg County Jail et al., Defendants.


ORDER

J. Campbell Barker United States District Judge

Plaintiff Larry Joe Williams, a former inmate proceeding pro se, filed this lawsuit against, among others, defendant Gregg County Jail pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love. After defendants filed a Martinez Report, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that plaintiff's civil-rights lawsuit be dismissed, with prejudice, as frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). Doc. 19. No objections were filed to the magistrate judge's report.

When there have been no timely objections to a 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. Plaintiff's civil-rights action is dismissed, with prejudice, as frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. All motions which may be pending in this civil action are denied.

So ordered.
