Case No. 1:15-cv-086

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge’s March 12, 2018, Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) in the above-captioned case. Dkt. No. 19. The time to file
objections to the R&R has passed, and no objections have been filed. See 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1) (setting a 14-day deadline to file objections; FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(2) (same).
After a de novo review of the case, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s
R&R. Id. However, with regard to Petitioner’s claim that he received ineffective
assistance of counsel prior to pleading guilty, the Court clarifies that Magistrate
Judge Ronald G. Morgan (“Judge Morgan”) presided over Petitioner’s September 24,
2013, re-arraignment hearing.1 See United States v. Guevara, 1:13-cr-652-1, Minute
Entry entered on Sept. 24, 2013 (S.D. Tex. filed Aug. 13, 2013).
The Court hereby DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE Petitioner’s 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 Motion, as amended. A certificate of appealability shall not issue. The Court
will direct entry of final judgment separately.
SIGNED this 12th day of April, 2018.
