CORPUS CHRISTI DIVISION
DANNY ALLEN, §
Plaintiff,
Vv. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:24-CV-00225
MICHAEL CROW, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jason Libby’s Memorandum and Recommendation
(“M&R”). (D.E. 36). The M&R recommends that the Court:
e Retain Plaintiff's excessive force claim against Lt. Jane Doe;
e Retain Plaintiff's equal protection claim against Warden Michael Crow and Lt. Jane Doe;
e Dismiss without prejudice Plaintiff's claims for money damages against Defendants in
their official capacities for lack of subject matter jurisdiction;
e Dismiss without prejudice Plaintiff's claims against all other Defendants for failure to state
a claim.
Id. at 16.
The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate
Judge’s M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. Civ. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No
objection has been filed. When no timely objection has been filed, the district court need only
determine whether the Magistrate Judge’s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United
States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan
Servicing, L.P., No. 4:14-CV-02700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015) (Harmon,
1/2
J.) (citation omitted).
Having reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the filings
of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous
or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 36). Accordingly, the Court:
e RETAINS Plaintiff's excessive force claim against Lt. Jane Doe;
e RETAINS Plaintiff's equal protection claim against Warden Michael Crow and Lt. Jane
Doe;
e DISMISSES without prejudice Plaintiff's claims for money damages against Defendants
in their official capacities for lack of subject matter jurisdiction;
e DISMISSES without prejudice Plaintiffs claims against all other Defendants for failure
to state a claim.
SO ORDERED.
