This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner Paul Everett Taylor’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under

. (DE 1). This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Matthew Stinnett for initial screening, and upon review, has recommended dismissal of the Petition for failure to exhaust administrative state remedies.

(1985); United States v. Walters,

(6th Cir. 1981). Accordingly, IT IS HEREIN ORDERED as follows: (1) United States Magistrate Judge Matthew Stinnett’s Recommended Disposition (DE 21) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety as the Opinion of the Court; (2) Petitioner Paul Everett Taylor’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under
