Hester v. Lea County Correctional Facility (GEO Group) Staff et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
WESLEY DEAN HESTER,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No. 2:23-cv-00516 DHU-LF
LEA COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
(GEO GROUP) STAFF; NEW MEXICO
CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT; WEXFORD
HEALTH SERVICES AND STAFF THEREOF,
Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
PROPOSED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION
The Magistrate Judge filed her Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition
(“PFRD”) on October 27, 2025, regarding the lack of new information pursuant to Judge Urias’s
Rule 56(f) notices (Docs. 137, 138). Doc. 140. The PFRD notified the parties of their ability to
file objections within fourteen (14) days and that failure to do so waived appellate review. Id. at
2. To date, the parties have not filed any objections.1
Wherefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
1. 	The Magistrate Judge’s Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition (Doc.
140) are ADOPTED;
1 Mr. Hester filed a document labeled as “Objection to Proposed Findings and a Request for
Extension,” but the Court construes this as solely a motion for extension because it argues that Mr.
Hester is unable to object due to a lack of materials—that is, it does not contain substantive
objections. The Magistrate Judge recently denied this request. Doc. 160.

2. 	The Court grants summary judgment in favor of the defendants on all remaining
claims in this case. A final judgment will follow separately.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
