RAFAEL PAHUA-MARTINEZ, Petitioner, v. WARDEN, FCI-HERLONG, Respondent.
ORDER AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
EDMUND F. BRENNAN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner filed a petition for relief pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2241 on April 3, 2023. ECF No. 1. On July 13, 2023, respondent moved to dismiss the petition, in part due to petitioner's alleged failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. ECF No. 10 (citing, inter alia, Chua Han Mow w. United States, 730 F.2d 1308, 1313 (9th Cir. 1984), cert. denied, 470 U.S. 1031 (1985) (finding “it is only when a prisoner has exhausted his administrative remedies that he becomes entitled to litigate the matter in district court”). Petitioner has acknowledged his failure to exhaust his administrative remedies and has also moved to dismiss his petition without prejudice. ECF No. 12.
It is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of Court randomly assign a district judge to this case. Because the parties agree that this petition must be dismissed for failure to exhaust administrative remedies, it is RECOMMENDED that the petition be dismissed without prejudice.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order.
