Westphal v. Rardin
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Adam Westphal, Civ. No. 24-4075 (PAM/LIB) Petitioner, v. ORDER Jared Rardin, Warden, FMC Rochester, Respondent.
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright dated December 10, 2024. (Docket No. 5.) The R&R recommends dismissal of this matter without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Petitioner did not file any objections to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1).
This Court must review de novo any portion of an R&R to which specific objections are made, but in the absence of objections, the Court reviews the R&R only for clear error. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b); see also Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (noting that district court need only review un-objected-to R&R for clear error). The Court has reviewed the R&R and finds no error, clear or otherwise, in the Magistrate Judge’s reasoning.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The R&R (Docket No. 5) is ADOPTED; 2. Petitioner’s Petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Docket No. 1) is DENIED; and 3. This matter is DISMISSED without prejudice.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
