Background

Ronald Wayne Rogers, Jr., a federal prisoner, brought this action against the United States. The matter was referred to a magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636.

On July 21, 2026, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending dismissal of Rogers’s claims and lawsuit with prejudice. No timely objections to that report were filed.

The Court’s Holding

District Judge Sean D. Jordan adopted the magistrate judge’s proposed findings and recommendations in full. The court concluded that the report’s findings and conclusions were correct.

The court dismissed the case with prejudice and denied all pending motions that had not previously been resolved.

Key Takeaways

  • The district court adopted the magistrate judge’s report without modification.
  • No timely objections were filed to the report and recommendation.
  • The dismissal with prejudice ends this action, and unresolved motions were denied.

Why It Matters

The order illustrates the consequence of not timely objecting to a magistrate judge’s report: the district court may adopt the recommendation and enter final dismissal. The opinion does not describe the substance of Rogers’s claims.
