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. No objections were filed. The District Court reviewed the proposed findings,
conclusions and recommendation for plain error. Finding none, the Court ACCEPTS the Findings,
Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
The Court prospectively CERTIFIES that any appeal of this action would not be taken in
good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); FED. R. APP. P. 24(a)(3). In support of this finding, the
Court adopts and incorporates by reference the Magistrate Judge’s Findings, Conclusions, and
Recommendation. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n.21 (5th Cir. 1997). Based on the
Findings and Recommendation, the Court finds that any appeal of this action would present no legal
point of arguable merit and would, therefore, be frivolous. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th
Cir. 1983).1 In the event of an appeal, Petitioner may challenge this certification by filing a separate

SO ORDERED this 22nd day of February, 2017.
