ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
TO RETAIN CASE AND DISMISS CERTAIN CLAIMS
On March 11, 2026, United States Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton issued her
“Memorandum and Recommendation to Retain Case and Dismiss Certain Claims” (D.E.
14). Plaintiff was 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 Indus., Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th Cir. 2005) (citing

Having reviewed the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the
Magistrate Judge’s memorandum and recommendation (D.E. 14), and all other relevant
documents in the record, and finding no clear error, the Court ADOPTS as its own the
