ORDER
On December 2, 2025, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gray M. Borden issued a Report
and Recommendation in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) recommending that
the Court dismiss Brewer’s claims without prejudice. (Doc. 11). Brewer has objected
to the report. (Doc. 16).
If a party objects to a portion of a Magistrate Judge’s report or proposed
findings or recommendations, the district court must review de novo those portions
of the report to which the party has specifically objected. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1);
FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). Any portions of a Magistrate Judge’s report that are
unchallenged are reviewed for clear error. Haywood v. Green, 695 F.Supp.3d 1315,
1318 (N.D. Ala. Sept. 27, 2023). In its review, the district court may “accept, reject,
or modify, in whole or in part,” the Magistrate Judge’s findings or recommendations.
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).
Having reviewed de novo the proposed findings and recommendations, the
Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 11)
should be ACCEPTED and hereby ADOPTS it as the findings of the Court. The
Court therefore OVERRULES Brewer’s objections (Doc. 16) and DISMISSES his
claims without prejudice.
The Clerk is DIRECTED close this case.
DONE and ORDERED this April 3, 2026.
