Darryl Swint v. State of Alabama, Attorney General State of Alabama

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA NORTHEASTERN DIVISION DARRYL SWINT, Petitioner, v. Case No.: 2:25-cv-2006-HDM-GMB STATE OF ALABAMA, ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF ALABAMA Respondent.

ORDER On January 8, 2026, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gray M. Borden issued a Report and Recommendation in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) recommending that the court transfer Mr. Swint’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for a writ of habeas corpus to the Middle District of Alabama. (Doc. 3). No party has objected to the Report and Recommendation.

If a party objects to a portion of a Magistrate Judge’s report or proposed findings or recommendations, the district court must review those portions of the report to which the party has specifically objected de novo. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). Unchallenged portions of a Magistrate Judge’s report are reviewed for clear error. Haywood v. Green, 695 F.Supp.3d 1315, 1318 (N.D. Ala. 2023). The district court may, in its review, “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part,” the Magistrate Judge’s findings or recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).

Having reviewed the proposed findings and recommendations for clear error, the court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, (Doc. 3), should be ACCEPTED and hereby ADOPTS it as the findings of the court.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to TRANSFER the case.

DONE and ORDERED this January 27, 2026.
