QUINCY LAJAMES JONES NELSON §
VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 9:20cv21
BOB CASTLEBERRY, ET AL. §
ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ACCEPTING
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Quincy LaJames Jones Nelson, an inmate at the Eastham Unit, proceeding pro se,
brought the above-styled lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
The court referred this matter to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate
Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. 
The Magistrate Judge recommends plaintiff’s motion for default judgment should be denied. 
The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge filed pursuant to such referral, along with the record and pleadings.  Plaintiff filed
objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.  This requires a de novo review
of the objections in relation to the pleadings and the applicable law.  See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b).  
After careful consideration, the court concludes plaintiff’s objections are without merit.  For
the reasons set forth in the Report, plaintiff’s motion for default judgment should be denied.
