Opinion
CAUSE NO. 1:20CV188-LG-MTP
12-07-2020
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS
BEFORE THE COURT is the [13] Report and Recommendation entered by United States Magistrate Judge Michael T. Parker on November 12, 2020. Magistrate Judge Parker reviewed the Respondent's [11] Motion to Dismiss and determined that it should be granted. The Petitioner did not file a response to the Respondent's Motion to Dismiss, nor has he filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation.
Where no party has objected to the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation, the Court need not conduct a de novo review of it. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) ("A judge of the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings and recommendations to which objection is made."). In such cases, the Court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record. Douglass v. United Serv. Auto Ass'n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996). After a review of this matter, the Court finds that Judge Parker's Report and Recommendation is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. The Respondent's Motion to Dismiss is granted, and the Petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed with prejudice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the [13] Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Michael T. Parker entered in this cause on November 12, 2020, is hereby ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the [11] Motion to Dismiss filed by Respondent is GRANTED. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 7th day of December, 2020.
