Jason Contreras v. CPS Energy

Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Texas accepts a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation concerning Plaintiff Jason Contreras’s motion for temporary injunctive relief. The court denies the motion for a preliminary injunction because Plaintiff did not demonstrate a substantial likelihood of success on the merits or a substantial threat of irreparable injury, and no objections were filed.

Holdings

1. Because no objections were filed to the report and recommendation, the district court was not required to conduct de novo review and could review the recommendation for clear error and whether it was contrary to law.
2. Plaintiff's motion for temporary injunctive relief, construed as a motion for preliminary injunction, was denied because Plaintiff failed to establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits and a substantial threat of irreparable injury.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the district court should accept the magistrate judge's report and recommendation when no objections were filed.
2. Whether Plaintiff's motion for temporary injunctive relief, construed as a motion for preliminary injunction, should be denied for failure to establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits and a substantial threat of irreparable injury.
