JUDGE CHARLES ESKRIDGE
ORDER ADOPTING
MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Jennifer Jelks proceeds here pro se. She sues
Defendants Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC, and Loancare,
LLC, to prevent foreclosure. Dkt 1-4 at ¶¶4–12 (petition).
Defendants removed and filed a motion for judgment on the
pleadings. See Dkts 1 (notice of removal) & 4 (motion).
The matter was referred for disposition to Magistrate
Judge Richard Bennett. Dkt 3. He issued a Memorandum
and Recommendation recommending that Plaintiff’s
claims be dismissed with prejudice unless she filed a
motion seeking leave to amend her complaint by December
30, 2025. Dkt 13 at 10–11. Plaintiff didn’t file such a
motion.
The district court reviews de novo those conclusions of
a magistrate judge to which a party has specifically
objected. See FRCP 72(b)(3) & 28 USC § 636(b)(1)(C); see
also United States v Wilson, 864 F2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir
1989, per curiam). The district court may accept any other
portions to which there’s no objection if satisfied that no
clear error appears on the face of the record. See Guillory v
PPG Industries Inc, 434 F3d 303, 308 (5th Cir 2005), citing

Order of this Court. Dkt 13.
