Background
Kenneth Wilson filed a petition seeking habeas-corpus relief against Warden Jared Rardin, Collette Peters, and Merrick Garland. The opinion does not describe the specific basis for the petition.
United States Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright issued a Report and Recommendation on April 15, 2024. It recommended that the petition be denied and that the action be dismissed without prejudice. No party filed an objection, and the deadline for objections passed.
Court’s Review
Because no party objected, the Court reviewed the Report and Recommendation for clear error rather than conducting a new review of the disputed issues. The Court stated that it found no error, clear or otherwise, in the magistrate judge’s reasoning. The opinion does not provide the reasoning from the Report and Recommendation or identify whether the petition was denied on the merits or on a threshold ground.
Disposition
Judge Paul A. Magnuson adopted the Report and Recommendation, denied the petition, and dismissed the matter without prejudice. The Court ordered judgment to be entered accordingly.
