Disposition notice

On November 4, 2026, Chief U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley adopted in full the magistrate judge's July 22, 2026 findings and recommendations and dismissed this pro se action against the United States without prejudice, directing the Clerk to enter judgment and close the case. The plaintiff filed no objections within the 14-day window, so the court presumed the findings of fact correct and reviewed conclusions of law de novo, finding them supported by the record. Although mailed service of the findings was returned undeliverable, the court deemed service effective because pro se parties must keep their address current under Local Rule 182(f). The underlying findings and recommendations (ECF No. 4) contain the magistrate judge's analysis, which this order does not restate.
