IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS BEAUMONT DIVISION E’ANDRE MOTT §

VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:22-CV-608 SHERIFF, JEFFERSON COUNTY § ORDER OVERRULING PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Petitioner E’Andre Mott, a prisoner previously confined at the Jefferson County Correctional Center, proceeding pro se, filed this Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to

. The Court referred this matter to the Honorable Christine L. Stetson, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this Court. The magistrate judge recommends dismissing the Petition without prejudice. The Court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States

Magistrate Judge filed pursuant to such order, along with the record, pleadings and all available evidence. Petitioner filed Objections to the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the Objections in relation to the pleadings and the applicable law. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). After careful consideration, the Court concludes the Objections are without merit. This Petition concerns pretrial matters in a state criminal proceeding that were mooted by Petitioner’s conviction. Yohey v. Collins,

(5th Cir. 1993). Any claims concerning his conviction that were not mooted by his conviction cannot be raised in a federal habeas petition until Petitioner has exhausted state court remedies.

(b). ORDER Accordingly, Petitioner’s Objections [Dkt. 14] are OVERRULED. The findings of fact and the conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct, and the magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation [Dkt. 13] is ADOPTED. A final judgment will be entered in this case in accordance with the magistrate judge’s recommendation.

SIGNED this 18th day of June, 2024.
