IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION § JOHN FRANCIS, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § Case No. 6:23-cv-574-JDK-JDL § MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, § § Defendant. § § ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE Plaintiff John Francis, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636. On February 2, 2024, Judge Love issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Court dismiss this case without prejudice for failure to prosecute or to obey an order of the Court. Docket No. 12. Plaintiff filed objections. Docket No. 13. Where a party timely objects to the Report and Recommendation, the Court reviews the objected-to findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge de novo. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In conducting a de novo review, the Court examines the entire record and makes an independent assessment under the law. Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded on other grounds by statute, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (extending the time to file objections from ten to fourteen days). In his objections, Plaintiff argues that his health has been badly neglected and he has not been getting his evening snacks. He also asserts that he has not been able to properly manage his blood sugar due to inadequate diet. Docket No. 13. Plaintiff's objections, however, fail to properly address or controvert the Magistrate Judge’s Report concerning Plaintiffs failure to comply with the Court’s orders. Having conducted a de novo review of the record in this case and the Magistrate Judge’s Report, the Court has determined that the Report of the Magistrate Judge is correct, and Plaintiffs objections are without merit. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Report of the Magistrate Judge (Docket No. 12) as the opinion of the District Court. Plaintiffs claims are DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to prosecute or obey a Court order. Signed this 0) Mar 14, 2024 JEREMY DJ KERNODEE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
