MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 5, 2021, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending that the court dismiss Petitioner Thomas Gaddis’

petition for a writ of habeas corpus because he had not exhausted any state court remedies and in any event, most of his claims were not cognizable in habeas, but were instead civil rights claims that he should have brought under

or 1985. (Doc. 2). Although the magistrate judge advised Mr. Gaddis of his right to file specific written objections to the report and recommendation by May 19, 2021 (id. at 8), Mr. Gaddis has not submitted objections, or any other response, within the prescribed time. After careful consideration of the record in this case and the magistrate judge’s report, the court ADOPTS the report and ACCEPTS her recommendations. In accordance with the recommendations, the court DISMISSES Mr. Gaddis’ § 2254 petition WITHOUT PREJUDICE as unexhausted. Furthermore, because the petition does not present issues that are debatable among jurists of reason, the court DENIES a certificate of appealability. See

(c); Slack v. McDaniel,

(2000); Rule 11(a), Rules Governing § 2254 Proceedings. The court will enter a separate order consistent with this opinion. DONE and ORDERED this June 8, 2021.
