MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Roshan Pyarali Mansia filed this suit seeking
to compel Defendant Joseph B. Edlow, Director of United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services, to issue a
determination on his pending Forms I-918 and I-918A.
Dkt 1.
Prior order on September 5, 2025, directed Plaintiff to
serve Defendant within 90 days, or else risk “dismissal by
the Court on its own initiative.” Dkt 5 at 1. Plaintiff failed
to file proof of service. Later, on November 25, 2025, he was
warned that failure to file proof of service by January 7,
2026, would result in dismissal of this action. Dkt 6. No
proof of service has been filed.
Pending is a Memorandum and Recommendation by
Magistrate Judge Yvonne Y. Ho, recommending that this
case be dismissed without prejudice lack of timely service.
Dkt 7.
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 and Recommendation, the record, and the
applicable law.
The Memorandum and Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED as the Memorandum and
Order of this Court. Dkt 7.
This case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
A final judgment will issue by separate order.
SO ORDERED.
Signed on _______________, at Houston, Texas.
