ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
On March 31, 2026, United States Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton issued her
“Memorandum and Recommendation” (D.E. 26), recommending that Respondent’s
construed motion to dismiss (D.E. 23) be granted and this action be dismissed. The parties
were 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); Special
Order No. C-2023-1. 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
