CIVIL ACTION NUMBER

JUDGE CHARLES ESKRIDGE
ORDER ADOPTING
MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Hlevictor A. Hoskins Jr. proceeds here pro se.
His action was referred to Magistrate Judge Richard
Bennett. Pending is a Memorandum and Recommendation
recommending that Plaintiff’s claims be dismissed under
Rules 41(b) and 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure for failure to comply with court order, prosecute
the case, and properly serve Defendants. See Dkt 13.
The district court reviews de novo those conclusions of
a magistrate judge to which a party has specifically
objected. See FRCP 72(b)(3) & 28 USC §636(b)(1)(C); see
also United States v Wilson, 864 F2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir
1989, per curiam). The district court may accept any other
portions to which there’s no objection if satisfied that no
clear error appears on the face of the record. See Guillory v
PPG Industries Inc, 434 F3d 303, 308 (5th Cir 2005), citing
Douglass v United Services Automobile Association, 79 F3d
1415, 1430 (5th Cir 1996, en banc); see also FRCP 72(b)
advisory committee note (1983).
