BRET A. BRADFORD, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge, (Dkt. No. 52), pertaining to the Court’s Order to Show Cause, (Dkt.
No. 36). The Court ordered Petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Sharif, to show cause for why he
should not be sanctioned for failure to comply with two Court Orders. (Id.). The Court
referred the matter to the Magistrate Judge for a report and recommendation. (Id.).
In his report and recommendation, Magistrate Judge dos Santos recommends that
no sanction be imposed and that the Court grant Mr. Sharif’s Motion to Withdraw. (Id.
at 1; Dkt. No. 47). Objections to the report and recommendation were due on June 4,
2026, (Dkt. No. 36 at 9), and no objections were filed by any party. Given that there are
no objections, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b)(1), the Court reviewed
the report and recommendation and applied the “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion
and contrary to law” standard of review. United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221
(5th Cir. 1989).
Finding no abuse of discretion or clearly erroneous findings, the Court hereby
ADOPTS IN WHOLE the report and recommendation, (Dkt. No. 36). No sanction will
be imposed as it relates to Mr. Sharif’s failure to comply with the Court’s Orders. Mr.
Sharif’s Motion to Withdraw as Attorney of Record, (Dkt. No. 47), is GRANTED.
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order, by regular mail
