REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
United States Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) in this matter on February 6, 2026. (Doc. No. 7.) No

ACCEPTED; and
2. 	Petitioner Joel Lopez, Jr.’s Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
(Doc. No. 6) is DENIED.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
