IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

MARSHALL DIVISION

v. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:22-CV-00432-JRG-RSP

§

MONITRONICS INTERNATIONAL, INC., § d/b/a BRINKS HOME, §

§

Defendant. §

ORDER

Defendant Monitronics International, Inc. d/b/a Brinks Home (“Brinks Home”) previously filed a Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue (“Motion”) (Dkt. No. 8.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 46), recommending denial of Brinks Home’s Motion. Brinks Home has now filed Objections (Dkt. No. 48.) .

After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on the Motion, the Report and Recommendation, and Brinks Home’s Objections, the Court agrees with the reasoning provided within the Report and Recommendation and concludes that the Objections fail to show that the Report and Recommendation was erroneous. Consequently, the Court OVERRULES Brinks Home’s Objections and ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and orders that the Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue (Dkt. No. 8) is DENIED.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 26th day of September, 2023.
