No objections to the Report were received as of the date of this order, and the deadline for filing objections has expired. After reviewing the pleadings, file, record in this case, and Report, the court determines that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court. This court lacks jurisdiction to hear this action unless the Fifth Circuit grants leave for Petitioner to file a successive petition. Accordingly, the court directs the clerk of court to transfer Petitioner’s habeas petition to the Fifth Circuit for consideration.
