RENE HINAJOSA, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby's Memorandum and Recommendation
("M&R"). (D.E. 16). The M&R recommends that the Court (1) grant Respondent's motion for
summary judgment, (D.E. 14), and (2) deny a certificate of appealability. (D.E. 16, p. 6).
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)(l); 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
detenriine whether the Magistrate Judge's M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United
States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989) (per ctiriam); Powell v. Litton Loan
Servicing, L.P., No. 4:14-CV-02700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015) (Harmon,
J.) (citation omitted).
Having reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge~ the filings
of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous
or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 16). Accordingly, the Court
GRANTS Respondent's motion for summary judgment, (D.E. 14), and DENIES Petitioner a
certificate of appealability. The Court will enter a final judgment separately.
