UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
CALVIN THRESH BROWN CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS NO. 23-3215
TANGIPAHOA PARISH JAIL, ET AL. SECTION “R” (4)
ORDER
Plaintiff Calvin Brown, proceeding pro se, brings this action under 42
U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that he has been denied adequate medical care
because prison officials at the Tangipahoa Parish Jail have not timely
presented him for dialysis for his chronic kidney and heart conditions.1 On
December 21, 2023, Magistrate Judge Karen Wells Roby issued a Report &
Recommendation (“R&R”), recommending that the Court dismiss plaintiff’s
complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), for failure to
prosecute or comply with a court order.2
Plaintiff did not object to the R&R. Therefore, the Court reviews the
R&R for clear error. Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415,
1430 (5th Cir. 1996); 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
1 R. Doc. 1 (Deficient Complaint).
2 R. Doc. 9.
that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the
recommendation.”). The Court finds no clear error.
Accordingly, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Roby’s R&R as its
opinion. Plaintiffs complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
