On July 14, 2022, United States Magistrate Judge Jane M. Virden issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that Lucas Edwards’ amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus be dismissed and his “Motion for Transport for Hearing” be denied. Doc. #24. No objections to the R&R were filed.1 “With respect to those portions of the report and recommendation to which no objections were raised, the Court need only satisfy itself that there is no plain error on the face of the record.” Gauthier v. Union Pac. R.R. Co., 644 F. Supp. 2d 824, 828 (E.D. Tex. 2009) (citing Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1428–29 (5th Cir. 1996)). The Court has reviewed the R&R and finds no plain error on the face of the record. Accordingly, the R&R [24] is ADOPTED as the order of the Court. Edwards’ petition for a writ of habeas corpus, as amended [10] is DISMISSED with prejudice, and the motion to transport [22] is DENIED. SO ORDERED, this 7th day of October, 2022. /s/Debra M.
