ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is the May 6, 2026, Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”) prepared by Magistrate Judge Scott Hacker. (Dkt. No. 7). Judge Hacker made
findings and conclusions and recommended that Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion to
Dismiss Motion for Return of Property, (Dkt. No. 6), be granted, and this civil action be
dismissed without prejudice. (Dkt. No. 7).
The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the R&R.
See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No party filed an objection. As a result,
review is straightforward: plain error. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th
Cir. 2005). No plain error appears.
Accordingly, the Court accepts the R&R and adopts it as the opinion of the Court.
It is therefore ordered that:
(1) Judge Hacker’s R&R, (Dkt. No. 7), is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its
entirety as the holding of the Court;
(2) Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion to Dismiss for Return of Property, (Dkt. No.
6), is GRANTED; and
