Robert Sills v. Warden, FCI-Texarkana

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TEXARKANA DIVISION ROBERT SILLS, § § Petitioner, § § v. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:24-CV-5-RWS-JBB § WARDEN, FCI-TEXARKANA, § § Respondent. § ORDER Before the Court is Petitioner Robert Sill’s petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Docket No. 1. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge J. Boone Baxter in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636.

On February 20, 2026, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation, recommending the above application for the writ of habeas corpus be dismissed with prejudice.

Docket No. 10. A copy of the Report and Recommendation was sent to Petitioner at his last known address, return receipt requested, but was returned as undeliverable.1 Docket No. 11.

Because no objections have been received, Petitioner is barred from de novo review by the District Judge of the Magistrate Judge’s proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendations and, except upon grounds of plain error, from appellate review of the unobjected-to factual findings and legal conclusions accepted and adopted by the District Court. See Duarte v. City of Lewisville, 858 F.3d 348, 352 (5th Cir. 2017); Arriaga v. Laxminarayan, No. 4:21-CV-00203-RAS, 2021 WL 3287683, at *1 (E.D. Tex. July 31, 2021).

1 Eastern District of Texas Local Rule CV-11(d) requires that “pro se litigant[s] must provide the Court with a physical address,” and they are “responsible for keeping the [Clerk of Court] advised in writing of [their] current physical address.”

The Court has reviewed the pleadings in this case and the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. Upon such review, the Court has determined that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is correct. See United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989) (where no objections to a magistrate judge’s report are filed, the standard of review is “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law”). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Docket No. 10) is ADOPTED as the opinion of the District Court. It is further ORDERED the above-captioned petition for the writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 24th day of March, 2026.
