ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton’s Memorandum and

Recommendation (“M&R”). (D.E. 10). The M&R recommends that the Court:

e Grant Respondent’s motion for summary judgment, (D.E. 9);
e Dismiss Petitioner’s petition, (D.E. 1); and
e Deny Petitioner a certificate of appealability (“COA”).

(D.E. 10, p. 6~7).

The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate

Judge’s M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); General Order No, 2002-13. No

objection has been filed. When no timely objection has been filed, the district court need only

determine whether the Magistrate Judge’s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United

States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan
