TYLER DIVISION
DEAN ALLEN TUCKER
§

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
§
CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:14cv638
Crim. No. 6:12cr89
MEMORANDUM ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
AND ENTERING FINAL JUDGMENT
The Movant Dean Allen Tucker, proceeding pro se, filed this motion to vacate or correct his
sentence under 28 U.S.C. §2255, complaining of the validity of his conviction. This Court ordered
that the matter be referred to the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)
and (3) and the Amended Order for the Adoption of Local Rules for the Assignment of Duties to
United States Magistrate Judges.
After review of the pleadings and an evidentiary hearing, the magistrate judge issued a report
recommending that Tucker be allowed an opportunity to appeal his conviction through the
reinstating of the judgment of conviction in his criminal case.
The magistrate judge also
recommended that the motion to vacate or correct sentence be dismissed without prejudice.
No objections were filed to the magistrate judge’s report; accordingly, the parties are barred
from de novo review by the district judge of those findings, conclusions, and recommendations and,
except upon grounds of plain error, from appellate review of the unobjected-to factual findings and
legal conclusions accepted and adopted by the district court. Douglass v. United Services
Automobile Association, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996) (en banc).
The Court has examined the pleadings in this cause and the report of the magistrate judge and
has concluded that this report is correct. See United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th
1
Cir.), cert. denied, 492 U.S. 918, 109 S.Ct. 3243 (1989) (where no objections to a magistrate judge’s
report are filed, the standard of review is “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to
law.”). It is accordingly
ORDERED that the report of the magistrate judge (ECF TXED 6:14-cv-638, 19) is
ADOPTED as the opinion of the District Court. It is further
ORDERED that the above-styled motion to vacate or correct sentence is DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE. It is further
ORDERED that the Final Judgment entered in United States v. Tucker, Crim. No. 6:12cr89
(docket no. 36), is VACATED and the Clerk shall re-enter the Final Judgment. United States v.
West, 240 F.3d 456, 459 (5th Cir. 2001); Bowey v. United States, Civil Action No. 6:10cv13, Crim.
.
No. 6:08cr80 (E.D.Tex.). It is further
ORDERED that Deborah Race is appointed to represent the Movant Dean Allen Tucker on
appeal. Finally, it is
ORDERED that any and all motions which may be pending in this civil action are hereby
DENIED.
It is SO ORDERED.
SIGNED this 8th day of September, 2015.
