ALFRED VEGIA, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM STEPHENS, et al, Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
On March 16, 2015, United States Magistrate Judge B. Janice Ellington issued her "Memorandum and Recommendation" (D.E. 16), recommending that the Court grant Respondent's motion for summary judgment and deny habeas corpus relief. The parties were provided proper notice of, and opportunity to object to, the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Recommendation. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); General Order No. 2002-13. No objections have been filed.
When no timely objection to a magistrate judge's memorandum and recommendation is filed, the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record and accept the magistrate judge's memorandum and recommendation. Guillory v. PPG Industries, Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th Cir. 2005) (citing Douglass v. United Services Auto Ass'n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996)).
Having reviewed the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Recommendation (D.E. 16), and all other relevant documents in the record, and finding no clear error, the Court ADOPTS as its own the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, the Respondent's Motion for Summary Judgment (D.E. 12) is GRANTED, Petitioner's Motion for Time Relief Grant (D.E. 14) is DENIED, and Petitioner's application for habeas corpus relief is DENIED. In the event that Petitioner requests a Certificate of Appealability, that request is DENIED.
ORDERED this 17th day of April, 2015.
