KENNETH ALEXANDER, Petitioner, v. M.V. JOSEPH, Respondent.
ORDER
M. CASEY RODGERS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The chief magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation on January 31, 2022 (ECF No. 20). The parties were furnished a copy of the Report and Recommendation and afforded an opportunity to file objections pursuant to Title 28, United States Code, Section 636(b)(1). There have been no timely filed objections.
Having considered the Report and Recommendation and the record, I have determined the Report and Recommendation should be adopted.
Accordingly, it is now ORDERED as follows:
1. The chief magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 20) is adopted and incorporated by reference in this order.
2. Respondent's motion to dismiss (ECF No. 17) is GRANTED on the ground that Petitioner failed to exhaust administrative remedies prior to filing his habeas petition.
3. The petition for writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
4. The clerk of court is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this order and close the case.
