ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On November 25, 2025, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court,
with copies to the parties, his Recommended Decision (ECF No. 10) on pro se Petitioner’s
Motion for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1).
The Petitioner filed his Objection to the Recommended Decision on December 22,
2025. 	(ECF No. 11). 	I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision,
together with the Petition, Objection, and the balance of the record; I have made a de novo
determination of all matters adjudicated by the Recommended Decision; and I concur with
the recommendations of the United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in the
Recommended Decision, and determine that no further proceeding is necessary.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge
(ECF No. 10) is hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. 	Petitioner’s Petition is dismissed.
(ECF No. 1).
