ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This is a habeas action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 2254 in which Petitioner challenges
the validity of disciplinary action taken against him at the James V. Allred Unit of the Texas

The United States Magistrate Judge entered his Findings, Conclusions, and
Recommendation in which he recommends that the petition be denied. See ECF No. 19. Petitioner
did not file objections. The District Court reviewed the Findings, Conclusions, and
Recommendation for plain error. Finding no error, I am of the opinion that the findings of fact,
conclusions of law, and reasons for denial set forth in the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation are
correct and they are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference as the Findings of the Court.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 26th day of April, 2021.
