ORDER
Before the Court is Petitioner’s “Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus” (Dkt. No. 1) (“Petition”),
Petitioner’s “Motion for Expedited Consideration” (Dkt. No. 2), Respondents’ “Response to Petition for
Writ of Habeas Corpus and Motion to Dismiss” (Dkt. No. 12) (“MTD”), the Magistrate Judge’s “Report
and Recommendation to Dismiss Petitioner’s Habeas Petition” (Dkt. No. 14) (“R&R”), “Petitioner’s
Objections to Report and Recommendation” (Dkt. No. 15) (“Objections”) and “Respondents’ Response to
petitioner’s Objections to Report and Recommendation” (Dkt. No. 16) (“Response”).
The R&R recommends that the Court: (1) deny the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) sua sponte, (2) deny the
MTD (Dkt. No. 12) and “Motion for Expedited Consideration” (Dkt. No. 2) as moot, and (3) direct the
Clerk of Court to close the case. Dkt. No. 14 at 1.
When a party objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the Court reviews the
matter de novo. United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989). After such review, the Court
hereby OVERRULES Petitioner’s Objections (Dkt. No. 15) and ADOPTS the R&R (Dkt. No. 14).
Accordingly, the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) is hereby DENIED sua sponte. The MTD (Dkt. No. 12) and
“Motion for Expedited Consideration” (Dkt. No. 2) are further DENIED as moot. The Clerk of the Court
is DIRECTED to close the case.
