ORDER
Before the court is a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") from Magistrate
Judge Susan E. Schwab, which recommends dismissal of Tyler Edward
Stevens's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (Doc. 9).
After a review of the petition , Magistrate Judge Schwab recommends that the
court should not exercise jurisdiction over Stevens's pretrial detention habeas
matter pursuant to the Younger doctrine.
The R&R was issued on January 12, 2026. 	No objections to the R&R have
been filed and the time for such filing has passed. 	The R&R is thus ready for
review.
In deciding whether to adopt an R&R when no timely objections are filed,
the court must determine if a review of the record evidences plain error or
manifest injustice. FED . R. CIv. P. 72(b), 1983 Advisory Committee Notes ("When
no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear

error on the face of the record to accept the recommendation"); see also 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Sullivan v. Cuyler, 723 F.2d 1077, 1085 (3d Cir. 1983).
After reviewing plaintiff's petition for writ of habeas corpus, the court finds
neither clear error on the face of the record nor a manifest injustice in Magistrate
Judge Schwab's management of the petition or in her analysis. 	Therefore, the
court will accept the R&R and adopt it in its entirety. Stevens's petition will be
dismissed, and this case will be closed . 1
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1) The R&R, (Doc. 9), is ADOPTED ;
2) The petition for writ of habeas corpus, (Doc. 1), is DISMISSED; and
3) The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
1 Stevens was detained in the Potter County Jail in Coudersport, Pennsylvania for a period of
time. (Doc. 1). Stevens appears have been released from Potter County Jail and did not
provide a forwarding address to the court. (See Docs. 6- 8) . Consequently, his request for
habeas relief is also moot. 	Nothing in the R&R or this order impacts any claim the petitioner
may have under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
