What happened

Stamps v. Segal involved Alessandra Katie Stamps’s petition for a court-issued writ. The order does not describe the petition’s underlying claims or the reasons given in the magistrate judge’s recommendation.

No party objected to Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster’s October 28, 2022 recommendation, so the district court reviewed it for clear error.

Judge Eric C. Tostrud found no clear error, accepted the recommendation, denied the petition, and dismissed the action with prejudice.

Case
Stamps v. Segal · No. 0:22-cv-02279
Judge
Eric Tostrud
Date
Nov. 22, 2022

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.
