ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM

On January 12, 2026, United States Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton issued her

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-

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
