UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:22-cv-00065 Vernon Leandis Charles, Petitioner, V. Director, TDCJ, Respondent.

ORDER Petitioner Vernon Leandis Charles, an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, proceeding pro se, filed this pe- tition for the writ of habeas corpus challenging the legality of his conviction and the calculation of his good-time and work-time credits as they relate to parole eligibility or the duration of his sen- tence. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love. Doc. 2. After review of the pleadings, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the petition be dismissed as successive as to petitioner’s challenge to his conviction and dismissed as without merit as to the claims concerning good-time and work- time credits. Petitioner received a copy of the magistrate judge’s report on March 30, 2022, but no objections have been received. When there have been no timely objections to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the court reviews it only for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s re- port, and being satisfied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. The petitioner’s chal- lenge to the legality of his conviction is dismissed with prejudice as successive until such time as petitioner receives permission from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to file a successive peti- tion. Petitioner’s claims concerning his good-time and work-time credits are dismissed with prejudice as without merit. A certifi- cate of appeal is denied sua sponte.

So ordered by the court on May 24, 2022.
