Johnson v. State Judges et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
BEAUMONT DIVISION
R. WAYNE JOHNSON 	§
VS. 	§ 	CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:25cv523
STATE JUDGES, ET AL. 	§
ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff R. Wayne Johnson, proceeding pro se, filed the above-styled civil rights lawsuit
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court previously referred this matter to the Honorable Christine
L. Stetson, United States Magistrate Judge, for consideration pursuant to applicable orders of this
Court. 	The Magistrate Judge has submitted a Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge recommending that the case be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
The Court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge, along with the record and pleadings. Plaintiff filed objections to the Report and
Recommendation. The Court must therefore conduct a de novo review of the objections in relation
to the pleadings and the applicable law.
The Court previously determined that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), plaintiff was not
allowed to proceed with this case on an in forma pauperis basis. Plaintiff was allowed 14 days to
pay the filing fee. When the time for paying the fee expired, the Magistrate Judge recommended
the case be dismissed for want of prosecution.
Plaintiff’s objections are difficult to understand. However, he does not contest the prior
conclusion that he may not proceed with this case in forma pauperis. Nor does he assert he intends
to pay the filing fee. As a result, plaintiff’s objections are without merit.
ORDER
Accordingly, plaintiff’s objections [Dkt. 10] are OVERRULED. The findings of fact and
conclusions of law of the Magistrate Judge are correct and the report of the Magistrate Judge [Dkt.
