CIVIL ACTION NUMBER

JUDGE CHARLES ESKRIDGE
ORDER ADOPTING
MEMORANDUM, RECOMMENDATION & ORDER
Plaintiff Johntrel Lewis proceeds here pro se. He filed
a motion for preliminary injunction. Dkt 14.
This action was referred to Magistrate Judge Richard
W. Bennett. Pending is a Memorandum, Recommendation,
and Order stating that the motion for preliminary
injunction should be denied because “Plaintiff’s requested
relief—enjoining Defendant from reporting the subject
account as ‘disputed’—is now moot, as Defendant has
deleted the tradeline from Plaintiff’s credit report.” See Dkt
23 at 4.
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).

None of the parties filed objections. No clear error
otherwise appears upon review and consideration of the
Memorandum, Recommendation, and Order, the record,
and the applicable law.
The Memorandum, Recommendation, and Order of the
Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED as the Memorandum and
Order of this Court. Dkt 23.
The motion for preliminary injunction is DENIED AS
MOOT. Dkt 14.
SO ORDERED.
Signed on December 5, 2025, at Houston, Texas.
