ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
TO DISMISS WARDEN J. FIKES FOR FAILURE TO SERVE
On December 15, 2025, United States Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby issued his
“Memorandum and Recommendation to Dismiss Warden J. Fikes for Failure to Serve”
(D.E. 32). Plaintiff was provided proper notice of, and opportunity to object to, the
Magistrate Judge’s memorandum and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1); General Order No. 2002-13. No objections have been timely filed.
When no timely objection to a magistrate judge’s memorandum and
recommendation is filed, the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error
on the face of the record and accept the magistrate judge’s memorandum and
recommendation. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th Cir. 2005) (citing
