Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation filed on December 2, 2025, by the
Honorable Spencer G. Singleton, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of
Arkansas. (ECF No. 11). Judge Singleton recommends that Plaintiff’s petition for writ of habeas
corpus be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with the
Court’s Order to provide additional information (ECF No. 8). (ECF No. 11, at 2).
Plaintiff has not responded to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to do so has
passed.1 See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record
and that Judge Singleton’s reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation
(ECF No. 11) in toto. Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s petition should be and hereby
is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to comply with the Court’s Order and for
failure to prosecute this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 14th day of January, 2026.
