ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jason Libby’s Memorandum and Recommendation
(“M&R”). (D.E. 14). The M&R recommends that the Court deny Plaintiff's motion to proceed
IFP, dismiss his complaint without prejudice, deny as moot his motion for preliminary injunction,
and send notice of this dismissal to the Manager of the Three Strikes List for the Southern District
of Texas. /d. at 5.

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 timely 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

or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 14). Accordingly, the Court
