Aaron Jimmie Urban v. Chris Mason, Acting Superintendent, South Central...

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON DIVISION AARON JIMMIE URBAN, Petitioner, v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:25-cv-00034 CHRIS MASON, Acting Superintendent, South Central Regional Jail, Respondent.

ORDER Pending is Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, [ECF No. 2]. This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Dwane L. Tinsley for submission of proposed findings of fact and a recommendation (“PF&R”). On December 15, 2025, Judge Tinsley submitted his PF&R [ECF No. 15] and recommended that the court dismiss the Petition and dismiss this matter from the court’s docket. Neither party filed objections to the PF&R nor sought an extension of time.

A district court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). This court is not, however, required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985).

Because the parties have not filed objections in this case, the court accepts and incorporates herein the PF&R and orders judgment consistent therewith. Accordingly, the court DISMISSES Petitioner’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 [ECF No. 2], DISMISSES the case without prejudice, and REMOVES this action from the court’s docket.

The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party.
