ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby’s Memorandum and Recommendation
(“M&R”). (D.E. 262). The M&R recommends that the Court grant Plaintiff's motion to dismiss,
(D.E. 261), and dismiss Claimant and its counterclaim. (D.E. 262, p. 4).

The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate
Judge’s M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No
objection has been filed. When no objection has been filed, the district court need only determine
whether the Magistrate Judge’s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United States v.
Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan Servicing, L.P.,
No. 4:14-CV-02700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015) (Harmon, J.) (citation
omitted).

Having reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the filings
of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous
or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 262). Accordingly, the Court
GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss, (D.E. 261), and DISMISSES Claimant and its
counterclaim. The Court further ORDERS Plaintiffs to file an advisory with the Court on or before

December 10, 2025, informing the Court of the status of any remaining claims in this litigation.
