Ambrose v. Jefferson Parish Detention Center ( 2023 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA TELLY SAVLAES AMBROSE CIVIL ACTION VERSUS NO. 22-1876 JEFFERSON PARISH DETENTION SECTION “R” (5) CENTER, ET AL. ORDER On July 12, 2022, plaintiff Telly Ambrose filed this lawsuit against defendants Jefferson Parish Detention Center, Jefferson Parish Medical Direct Health, Joseph P. Lopinto, III, and Sue Ellen Monfra.1 On June 8, 2023, the Court notified plaintiff that “Jefferson Parish Medical Direct Health” is not a properly-named medical entity at the Jefferson Parish Detention Center, and directed him to amend his complaint to name the correct medical entity at the facility by June 30, 2023.2 Plaintiff failed to respond to that Order. Thereafter, Chief Magistrate Judge Michael B. North issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) in which he recommends that plaintiff’s claims against “Jefferson Parish Medical Direct Health” be dismissed without prejudice.3 1 R. Doc. 3. 2 R. Doc. 17. 3 R. Doc. 19. No party objected to the R&R. The Court thus reviews the R&R for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded by statute on other grounds, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. 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 Judge North’s R&R as its opinion. Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE plaintiffs claims against “Jefferson Parish Medical Direct Health” pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). New Orleans, Louisiana, this 25th day of August, 2023. Arn VGn02_ SARAH S. VANCE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
