Dana Scott Windham,

Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
Defendant.
O R D E R
Plaintiff, a prisoner confined within the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brought
this lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Doc. 16. The case was re-
ferred to a magistrate judge, who issued a report recommending
that plaintiff’s lawsuit be dismissed with prejudice for failing to
state a claim upon which relief may be granted under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A(b)(1). Doc. 20 at 10. Plaintiff received the report but did
not file written objections. Doc. 21.
When there have been no timely objections to a report, “the
court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face
of the record.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), advisory committee’s notes
to 1983 amendment. Having reviewed the record and being satis-
fied there is no clear error, the court accepts the report’s findings
and recommendations. Plaintiff’s lawsuit is dismissed with preju-
dice for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). Any pending motions are denied
as moot.
So ordered by the court on January 8, 2026.
