JAYLEN DALAINO BELL v. WOOD COUNTY, et al.
CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:25-cv-00196
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON DIVISION
October 1, 2025
THOMAS E. JOHNSTON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is Jaylen Bell‘s (“Plaintiff“) Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis and Complaint for Violation of Privacy, Identity Theft, and Constitutional Rights. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) By standing order, this matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Dwane L. Tinsley for submission of proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition (“PF&R“). (ECF No. 3.) On August 28, 2025, Magistrate Judge Tinsley filed a PF&R recommending Plaintiff‘s Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis be denied. (ECF No. 4.)
This Court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Failure to file timely objections constitutes a waiver of de novo review.
Objections to the PF&R were due on September 15, 2025. (ECF No. 4.) To date, Plaintiff has not filed any objections, thereby waiving de novo review of the PF&R. Accordingly, this Court ADOPTS the PF&R, (ECF No. 4), and DENIES Plaintiff‘s motion. (ECF No. 1.) The Court further DIRECTS the Clerk to REMOVE this case from the active docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party.
