EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
JONATHAN PAYTON 	CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS 	NO. 25-1480
INSPIRE BRANDS, ET AL. 	SECTION “R” (2)
ORDER AND REASONS
Plaintiff Jonathan Payton filed this pro se and in forma pauperis
complaint asserting “official capacity” claims against Defendants Inspire
Brands and Buffalo Wild Wings. 1 	On March 20, 2026, Magistrate Judge
Currault issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R), recommending that
the Court dismiss Plaintiff’s case with prejudice as legally frivolous under 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). 2 Plaintiff did not object to the R&R. Therefore, the Court
reviews the R&R for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,
79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded by statute on other
grounds, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory
committee’s note (1983) (“When no timely objection is filed, the court need
only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order
to accept the recommendation.”).
