(DE 1.) Petitioner is serving a sentence of 120 months imposed by the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas and is seeking immediate release from custody. (DE 5 pp. 1-2.) The Report and Recommendation was issued on August 3, 2022, recommending this action be dismissed because this Court lacks jurisdiction. Petitioner filed no objections to the Report and Recommendation. In the absence of objections to the Report and Recommendation, this Court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 The recommendation has no presumptive weight, and the responsibility for making a final determination remains with the United States District Court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 27071 (1976). The court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which specific objection is made. The court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation made by the magistrate judge or recommit the matter with instructions. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 1 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1:22-cv-02204-JD Date Filed 09/12/22 Entry Number 10 Page 2 of 2 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983).

Accordingly, after a thorough review of the Report and Recommendation and the record in this case, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation and incorporates it herein.
