TONY MORTON, Petitioner, v. ADA PEREZ, SUPERINTENDENT, DOWNSTATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, Respondent.
ORDER ADOPTING
REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
ANALISA TORRES, District Judge:
On June 10, 2013, Petitioner, Tony Morton, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August 1, 2013, the Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein.
After careful consideration, Magistrate Judge Gorenstein issued a Report and Recommendation ("R & R"), proposing that Petitioner's petition be denied. Despite notification of the right to object to the R & R, no objections were filed, and the time to do so has passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). When no objection is made, the Court reviews the R & R for clear error. Dunham v. City of New York, No. 11 Civ 1223, 2013 WL 929029, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 11, 2013). The Court's review finds no clear error, and accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Gorenstein's R & R in its entirety. Petitioner's petition is DENIED.
The Clerk of Court is directed to close the case and to mail a copy of this order to Pro Se Petitioner.
SO ORDERED. Dated: March 11, 2014
New York, New York
