The detailed version

Background
Rena M. Hymans filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 against Warden Segal. The order does not describe the factual basis of the petition or the relief Hymans sought.
Review of the Recommendation
United States Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung issued a Report and Recommendation on February 2, 2023. No timely objections were filed. Because there were no objections, the district court reviewed the recommendation for clear error—a plainly mistaken conclusion apparent from the record. The court stated that it found no clear error.
Ruling
Judge Jerry W. Blackwell accepted the Report and Recommendation and denied Hymans’s petition. The order does not state the grounds for the recommendation or otherwise analyze the petition’s underlying legal claims. Because the court resolved the matter by accepting the recommendation under clear-error review without merits analysis, this summary classifies the order as procedural.
