THOMAS SAWYER, TDCJ No. 579557, Petitioner, v. BOBBY LUMPKIN, Director, Texas Dep't of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division, Respondent.
ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS , CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This is a habeas action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in which Petitioner challenges the validity of a prison disciplinary proceeding. The United States Magistrate Judge entered his Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation in which he recommends that the petition be denied and that Petitioner's pending motions be denied as moot. See ECF No. 25. Petitioner and Respondent have filed objections. See ECF Nos. 26, 39.
The District Court reviewed de novo those portions of the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation to which objections were made and reviewed the remaining Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation for plain error. Finding no error, I am of the opinion that the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and reasons for denial set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation are correct and they are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference as the Findings of the Court.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED. All pending motions are DISMISSED as MOOT.
SO ORDERED this 9th day of February, 2021.
