Ezenwa v. Federal Bureau of Prisons et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
BEAUMONT DIVISION
MAXWELL CHIBUEZE EZENWA 	§
VS. 	§ 	CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:24cv129
FEDERAL BUR. OF PRISONS, ET AL. 	§
ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Maxwell Chibueze Ezenwa, proceeding pro se, filed the above-styled civil rights
lawsuit. The Court previously referred this matter to the Honorable Christine L. Stetson, United
States Magistrate Judge, for consideration pursuant to applicable orders of this Court. 	The
Magistrate Judge has submitted a Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge
recommending that the case be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41(b).
The Court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge, along with the record and pleadings. Plaintiff filed objections to the Report and
Recommendation. The Court must therefore conduct a de novo review of the objections in relation
to the pleadings and the applicable law.
The Magistrate Judge’s recommendation was based on plaintiff’s failure to comply with an
order directing him to pay an initial partial filing fee. Plaintiff had been granted an extension of time
to comply with the order. In his objections, plantiff asserts his claims are meritorious and that he
should be allowed to amend his complaint. However, plantiff makes no reference to the basis for
the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation–his failure to comply with a court order. 	There is no
indication plaintiff intends to comply with the court’s order. His objections are therefore without
merit.
ORDER
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s objections [Dkt. 15] are OVERRULED. The findings of fact and
conclusions of law of the Magistrate Judge are correct and the report of the Magistrate Judge [Dkt.
