Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam)). Based on a careful review of the record, the Court finds that Judge Schultz committed no error, clear or otherwise.

1. The Report and Recommendation [Doc. 3] is ACCEPTED.
2. The Petition [Doc. 1] is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of jurisdiction.
