IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA BILLINGS DIVISION

EUGENE ALLEN LINWOOD, JR.., CV 20-91-BLG-SPW Petitioner, Vs. ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE’S FINDINGS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; AND RECOMMENDATIONS PROBATION AND PAROLE; YELLOWSTONE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER; and SHERIFF LINDER, Respondents.

The United States Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendations on

pro se petitioner Eugene Allen Linwood, Jr.’s Amended Petition seeking habeas

corpus relief. (Doc. 5). The Magistrate recommended that the petition be denied because Linwood failed to make a substantial showing that he was deprived of a constitutional right. (Doc. 6 at 7). Pursuant to

(b)(1), parties are required to file written objections within 14 days of the filing of the Magistrate’s Findings and Recommendation. No objections were filed. When neither party objects, this Court reviews the Magistrate’s Findings and Recommendation for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc.,

(9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a “definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” United States v. Syrax,

(9th Cir. 2000). After reviewing the Findings and Recommendation, this Court does not find that the Magistrate committed clear error. IT IS ORDERED that the proposed Findings and Recommendations entered by the United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. 6) are ADOPTED IN FULL. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED 1. Linwood’s Amended Petition (Doc. 5) is DENIED; 2. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment against Petitioner and in favor of Respondents; and 3. A certificate of appealability is DENIED.

DATED this fay of May 2021.
