ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge made findings, conclusions, and a recommendation in
this case (the FCR). An objection was filed by Petitioner. The District Court reviewed de novo those
portions of the FCR to which objection was made and reviewed the remaining portions for plain
error. Finding no error, the Court ACCEPTS the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of
the United States Magistrate Judge.
The Court therefore DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE Petitioner Dralon Duran Patterson’s
motion for de novo review on the merits [Dkt. No. 17] and motions for summary judgment [Dkt.
Nos. 18, 22]. And the Court need not rule on a certificate of appealability as to this denial as it is not
a final order in this proceeding. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A).
SO ORDERED this 20th day of January,2026.
