Background
James R. Rogers, Jr. filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the relief he sought. United States Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko issued a Report and Recommendation on May 13, 2025.
Review of the Recommendation
No objections were filed within the permitted time. The district court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake apparent from the record. Judge Blackwell stated that he found no clear error.
Ruling
The court accepted the May 13, 2025 Report and Recommendation and denied Rogers’s § 2241 petition. The order directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
Disposition
The petition was denied. The order does not state whether the denial was based on the merits or on a threshold ground; it only says that the recommendation was accepted after clear-error review.
