Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS ABILENE DIVISION TERI PENDLEY, Plaintiff, V. No. 1:23-CV-169-H-BU A.R.D. EXPRESS, INC., et al., Defendants. ORDER The United States Magistrate Judge issued Findings, Conclusions, and a Recommendation (FCR) that the plaintiff's claims against defendant A.R.D. Express, Inc. for negligent hiring, training, supervision, retention, monitoring, and entrustment be dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Dkt. No. 9. No objections were filed. Where no specific objections are filed within the 14-day period, the Court reviews the Magistrate Judge’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations only for plain error. Serrano v. Customs & Border Patrol, U.S. Customs & Border Prot., 975 F.3d 488, 502 (Sth Cir. 2020). The District Court has reviewed the FCR for plain error. Finding none, the Court accepts and adopts the FCR. The plaintiff's claims against A.R.D. are dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. However, because of the strong policy in favor of granting leave to amend at least once, see Great Plains Tr. Co. v. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., 313 F.3d 305, 329 (Sth Cir. 2002), the Court grants the plaintiff leave to amend her complaint within 14 days from the date of this Order.
So ordered on January qf , 2024.
