Administration of sentence Graves argues he is being denied proper administration of his sentence. (D.E. 1.) It is not clear what Graves is complaining about. He does not explain how his sentence is being improperly administered or how any improper administration of his sentence violates his constitutional rights. The state habeas court in denying relief found that Graves failed to state a claim for relief because the claim that his sentence was improperly administered was vague. (D.E. 16-4 at 283.) The state court concluded that Graves provided no substantive facts to support a legal ground for relief. Id. at 284. The court’s own review of the record is consistent with the state habeas filings. Graves fails to show that the state court’s decision was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts based on the evidence in the record. 4. Conclusion The court recommends that Lumpkin’s motion for summary judgment be granted and that Graves’s petition be dismissed with prejudice. The parties have fourteen days from service of this report and recommendation to file written objections. See

(b)G)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72. Failure to timely file objections will preclude appellate review of factual findings or legal conclusions, except for plain error. Thomas v. Arn,
