After an independent and de novo review of the entire
record, the undersigned concurs with the Magistrate Judge's
Report and Recommendation, dkt. no. 17, to which Petitioner

The Court

GRANTS Veliz's Motion for Extension of Time, dkt. no. 18, and

opinion of the Court.

brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and DIRECTS the Clerk of
