ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On January 27, 2026, the Court referred this case to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn,
United States Magistrate Judge for pretrial management. On January 29, 2026, Judge Hawthorn
ordered pro se Plaintiff Joseph Alexander (“Alexander”) to file an amended complaint that
complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Eastern District of Texas Local
Rules. (#4). After Alexander failed to comply with the Order (#4), Judge Hawthorn issued a
Report and Recommendation (#7), which recommended dismissing Alexander’s case for want of
prosecution.
The court reviewed Judge Hawthorn’s Report and Recommendation (#7) along with the
record, pleadings, and all available evidence. The court affirms Judge Hawthorn’s findings of
fact and conclusions of law are correct. The parties have not filed objections to the Report and
Recommendation, and the time for doing so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).
