The detailed version

Background
Alessandra Katie Stamps filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus against Warden Michael Segal. Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster issued a Report and Recommendation on October 28, 2022. The opinion does not state the petition’s underlying claims or explain the recommendation’s reasoning.
Review and Ruling
No party objected to the Report and Recommendation. Under the applicable procedure, the district court therefore reviewed it for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake. Judge Eric C. Tostrud found no clear error and accepted the recommendation.
The court denied Stamps’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus and dismissed the action with prejudice. The court directed that judgment be entered. Because the order adopted the recommendation after clear-error review and contains no merits analysis, this summary classifies the decision as a procedural order.
