After such review, the Court hereby OVERRULES Petitioners Objections (Dkt. No. 5) and ADOPTS the R&R (Dkt. No. 4).The Petition (Dkt. No. 1) is therefore DENIED and the Clerk of Court is INSTRUCTED to close this case. Case terminated on 9/11/2026 (Signed by Judge Rolando Olvera) Parties notified. (edg1) (Entered: 09/11/2026)
