SHANARD ZELRON BANKS v. JAMES M. LEBLANC, ET AL.
RULING AND ORDER
BRIAN A. JACKSON, JUDGE
Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 For Writ Of Habeas Corpus By A Person In State Custody (Doc. 1). Petitioner, an inmate confined at Catahoula Correctional Center in state custody, filed this Petition seeking to be returned to federal custody (Doc. 1). The Magistrate Judge has now issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 3, the “Report”), recommending that Petitioner's application for habeas corpus relief be dismissed, without prejudice, because Petitioner has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies, thus depriving the Court of jurisdiction in this matter. (See Doc. 3 at p. 3-5). Petitioner's deadline to object to the Report has passed, without any objection from Petitioner.
Having carefully considered the Petition, the Court APPROVES the Report and ADOPTS it as the Court's opinion in this matter.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 For Writ Of Habeas Corpus By A Person In State Custody (Doc. 1) be and is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Judgment shall issue separately.
