Action No. 7:24-CR-01886-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, § § Respondent. § ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE Pending before the Court is the May 5, 2026, Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) prepared by Magistrate Judge Scott Hacker. (Dkt. No. 10).1 Judge Hacker made findings and conclusions and recommended that Petitioner’s Motion Under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct a Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody, (Dkt. No. 1), be denied, and this civil action be dismissed with prejudice. (Dkt. No. 10). The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the R&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(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., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (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) Judge Hacker’s R&R, (Dkt. No. 10), is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court;
