THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 6; Report), entered by the Honorable Monte C. Richardson, United States Magistrate Judge, on June 3, 2020.

The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the finding or recommendations by the magistrate judge.”
