Case No. 6:25-cv-90-JDK-JDL
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On September 10, 2025, Plaintiff Richard Grega filed a motion for partial
default judgment in this action. 	Docket No. 71. 	On October 7, 2025, United States
Magistrate Judge John D. Love issued a report recommending that the motion be
denied. 	Docket No. 87. A copy of this report was mailed to Petitioner at his last-
known address. To date, Petitioner has not objected to the Report.
This Court reviews the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge de
novo only if a party objects within fourteen days of service of the Report and
Recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In conducting a de novo review, the Court
examines the entire record and makes an independent assessment under the law.
Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996) (en banc),
superseded on other grounds by statute, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (extending the time to
file objections from ten to fourteen days).

Here, Petitioner did not object in the prescribed period. 	The Court therefore
reviews the Judge Love’s findings for clear error or abuse of discretion and reviews
the legal conclusions to determine whether they are contrary to law. 	See United
States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 492 U.S. 918 (1989)
(holding that, if no objections to a Magistrate Judge’s Report are filed, the standard
of review is “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law”).
Having reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Report and the record in this case,
the Court finds no clear error or abuse of discretion and no conclusions contrary to
law. 	Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report
(Docket No. 87) is ADOPTED. 	Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (Docket No.
71) is DENIED.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this day of
