Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-00226

05-08-2020

ARTURO RICO ESPINOZA, Plaintiff, v. CARLOS GARZA, and OMAR LUCIO, in his official capacity as Sheriff of Cameron County. Defendants.


ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is the "Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation" ("R&R") (Docket No. 17). The R&R recommended the following: (1) dismiss the case as time-barred, and (2) close the case.

Objections were due April 22, 2020. No objections were filed by either party. A "clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law" standard of review is appropriate when there has been no objection to the magistrate's ruling. United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989). Finding no clear error, abuse of discretion, or finding contrary to law, the R&R is ADOPTED.

As a result, Arturo Rico Espinoza's cause of action against Carlos Garza and Omar Lucio is DISMISSED. The Clerk of the Court is ORDERED to close this case.

Signed on this 8th day of May , 2020.
