MEMORANDUM ORDER ADOPTING
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Russell Hope, Jr., proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights lawsuit. The court previously
referred this matter to the Honorable Christine L. Stetson, United States Magistrate Judge, at
Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. 	The
magistrate judge has submitted a Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge
recommending that the case dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be
granted. To date, the parties have not filed objections.
The court has received the Report and Recommendation, along with the record, pleadings,
and all available evidence. 	After careful review, the court finds that the findings of fact and
conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct.
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (#13) is
ADOPTED. A final judgment shall be entered dismissing this lawsuit.
