Background
Kelvin Ford filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, a request for a court order concerning his custody. The opinion does not state the specific claims Ford raised or the reasoning in Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron’s report and recommendation.
Court’s Review
Because no party objected to the report and recommendation, the court reviewed it for clear error. Clear-error review asks whether the recommendation contains an obvious mistake. Judge Analisa Torres found no clear error.
Ruling
The court adopted the report and recommendation in its entirety and denied Ford’s habeas petition. It directed the Clerk of Court to terminate all pending motions, vacate all conferences, and close the case. The opinion itself does not provide a merits analysis of Ford’s underlying habeas claims.
