IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA Clarksburg SHERMAN KEMP, Petitioner, V. Civil Action No. 1:18-CV-206 Judge Bailey FREDERICK ENTZEL, Respondent. ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION The above referenced case is before this Court upon United States Magistrate Judge James P. Mazzone’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R’), filed on October 18, 2021. See [Doc. 27]. Therein, Magistrate Judge Mazzone recommends that petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to

[Doc. 1] be denied and dismissed without prejudice. This Courtis charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the magistrate judge’s report to which a specific objection is registered, and may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendations contained in that report.

(b)(1). However, absent prompt objection by a dissatisfied party, it appears that Congress did not intend for the district court to review the factual and legal conclusions of the magistrate judge. Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Additionally, any party who fails to file timely, written objections to the magistrate judge’s report pursuant to

(b)(1) waives the right to raise those objections at the appellate court level. United States v. Schronce,

(4th Cir. 1984), cert. denied,

(1984). No objections have been filed to the magistrate judge’s R&R. Ade novo review of the record indicates that the magistrate judge’s report accurately summarizes this case and the applicable law. Accordingly, the magistrate judge’s R&R [Doc. 27] is AFFIRMED, and petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to

[Doc. 1]is DENIED and DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. This Court further DIRECTS the Clerk to enter judgment in favor of the respondent and to STRIKE this case from the active docket of this Court. It is so ORDERED. The Clerk is directed to transmit copies of this Order to any counsel of record and to mail a copy to the pro se petitioner. DATED: November 30, 2021.
