(Dkt. No. 22). Magistrate Judge Bray made findings and conclusions and recommended that the Government’s Motion for Summary Judgment, (Dkt. No. 13), be granted and that Morphis’s petition for writ of habeas corpus be denied. The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the R&R. See

(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No party filed an objection. As a result, review is straightforward: plain error. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc.,

(5th Cir. 2005). No plain error appears. Accordingly, the Court accepts the R&R and adopts it as the opinion of the Court. It is therefore ordered that: (1) Magistrate Judge Bray’s R&R (Dkt. No. 22) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and (2) Respondent’s Motion for Summary Judgment, (Dkt. No. 13), is GRANTED. It is SO ORDERED. Signed on April 10, 2023.
