District Court, W.D. Louisiana

Cobb v. Myers

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA LAKE CHARLES DIVISION

JIMMY COBB #00504-120 CASE NO. 2:19-CV-01451 SEC P VERSUS JUDGE JAMES D. CAIN, JR. WARDEN MYERS MAGISTRATE JUDGE KAY

JUDGMENT Before the court is a Report and Recommendation [doc. 5] filed in response to the petition for writ of habeas corpus brought under

28 U.S.C. § 2241

by pro se petitioner Jimmy Cobb and recommending that the matter be dismissed with prejudice. Cobb has not filed any objections to the report and recommendation, and his time for doing so has passed. The undersigned agrees that Cobb has failed to establish a right to relief under the savings clause of

28 U.S.C. § 2255

and that his petition must therefore be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. A dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, however, must be made without prejudice as to the merits of the petition. E.g., Reed v. Young,

471 F. App’x 284, 285

(5th Cir. 2012) (unpublished). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that this matter be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to the jurisdictional issue only and DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE in all other regards. THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Chambers on this 18th day of February, 2020. Se JAMES D. CAIN, A . UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
