Background
Detonya Garrett filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus against Bill Eischen, identified in the caption as the Federal Prison Camp Duluth warden or current acting warden. United States Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois issued a Report and Recommendation dated May 22, 2025. It recommended that the court deny Garrett’s petition and dismiss the action.
Review of the Recommendation
Garrett did not object to the Report and Recommendation, and the deadline for objections had passed. The court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake apparent from the record. The court found no clear error and adopted the recommendation.
Disposition
The court ordered that the Report and Recommendation be adopted, Garrett’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus be denied, and the action be dismissed with prejudice. The opinion does not explain the underlying basis for denying the petition beyond adopting the Report and Recommendation after clear-error review.
