Background
Somdy L. filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The opinion does not explain the petition’s underlying allegations or why the petition had become moot.
Report and Recommendation
On October 21, 2020, United States Magistrate Judge David T. Schultz issued a report and recommendation recommending that the petition be denied as moot. No objections were filed. Because there were no timely objections, the district court reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the recommendation.
Ruling
The court found no clear error and adopted the report and recommendation. Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright ordered that Somdy L.’s petition be denied as moot, that the action be dismissed without prejudice, and that judgment be entered.
Classification
This is a procedural order because the petition was resolved as moot without a decision on the underlying habeas question.
