Reported / Citable
Background
Nationstar Mortgage LLC brought claims against Julio Cesar Salas Cervantes and other defendants in the Eastern District of Texas. The matter was referred to a U.S. magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636.
On April 16, 2025, the magistrate judge recommended dismissing Nationstar’s claims without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. No timely objections were filed.
The Court’s Holding
District Judge Amos L. Mazzant concluded that the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions were correct and adopted the report and recommendation as the findings and conclusions of the court.
The court dismissed Nationstar’s claims without prejudice. The memorandum did not address the merits of the underlying claims.
Key Takeaways
- The court adopted the magistrate judge’s unopposed recommendation.
- Nationstar’s claims were dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.
- The dismissal was without prejudice.
Why It Matters
The order ends this federal action without a merits ruling. Because the dismissal was without prejudice, it does not purport to bar Nationstar from pursuing its claims in a court with jurisdiction.
