Petitioner filed with this Court a petition for a federal writ of habeas corpus challenging the constitutionality of his Potter County, Texas sentences. On September 19, 2017, the United States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation in this cause, recommending therein that the instant habeas application be granted unless respondent takes action, within sixty (60) days of the date of an Order adopting the recommendation, to reform the Judgments in Cause Nos. 52,536 and 52,537 by deleting the cumulation orders.

The undersigned United States District Judge has made an independent examination of the record in this case and has considered the objections made by respondent to the Report and Recommendation, as well as petitioner's response to the objections. The objections filed by respondent are hereby OVERRULED. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. Accordingly, the petition for a writ of habeas corpus will be granted unless respondent takes action, within sixty (60) days of the date of this Order, to reform the Judgments in Cause Nos. 52,536 and 52,537 by deleting the cumulation orders.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
