P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note (1983) (“When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.”). The Court finds no clear error. Therefore, the Court adopts Magistrate North’s R&R as its opinion. 1 R. Doc. 3. Accordingly, the Court orders that this matter be transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
