Johnson, Sr. v. Hudgins

Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA Wheeling DIETRICK LEWIS JOHNSON, SR., Petitioner, V. CIVIL ACTION No. 5:20-CV-254 Judge Bailey WARDEN HUDGINS, Respondent. ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION The above referenced case is before this Court upon the magistrate judge’s recommendation that petitioner’s

28 U.S.C. § 2241

petition be denied and dismissed without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction and petitioner's Motion Requesting the Court to Order a Deposition on His State Public Defender [Doc. 53] be denied as moot. This Court is 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.

28 U.S.C. § 636

(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,

474 U.S. 140

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

28 U.S.C. § 636

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

727 F.2d 91

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

467 U.S. 1208

(1984). No objections have been filed to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

A de 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 report and recommendation [Doc. 54] is AFFIRMED, petitioner's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Under

28 U.S.C. § 2241

[Doc. 1] is DENIED and DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION, and petitioner's Motion Requesting the Court to Order a Deposition on His State Public Defender [Doc. 53] is DENIED AS MOOT. The Clerk is DIRECTED to STRIKE the above-styled 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: January 11, 2022.
