ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby's Memorandum and Recommendation (M&R), entered on January 31, 2020. (D.E. 13). The M&R recommends that the Court grant Respondent's motion for summary judgment and dismiss this action as time barred. It is further recommended that a Certificate of Appealability be denied.

The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate Judge's M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No objection has been filed. When no timely objection has been filed, the district court need only determine whether the magistrate judge's memorandum and recommendation is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan Servicing, LP, No. CIV. A. H-14-2700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015).

Having carefully reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the filings of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 13). Accordingly, Respondent's motion for summary judgment (D.E. 10) is GRANTED, and this action is DISMISSED as time barred. Accordingly, Petitioner's motion to withdraw his petition (D.E. 12) is DENIED. A Certificate of Appealability is also hereby DENIED.

SIGNED and ORDERED.
