Case No. 18-20589-CIV-GAYLES/WHITE
05-01-2018
LAZARO DIAZ CARDENAS, Petitioner, v. JEFF SESSIONS, et al., Respondents.
ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING REPORT OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Patrick A. White's Report of Magistrate Judge ("Report") [ECF No. 12]. Petitioner filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his detention by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") [ECF No. 1]. The matter was referred to Judge White, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Administrative Order 2003-19 of this Court, for a ruling on all pretrial, non-dispositive matters, and for a Report and Recommendation on any dispositive matters. [ECF No. 2]. Because Petitioner was released from ICE custody pursuant to an order of supervision entered March 10, 2018, Judge White recommends that the Court dismiss the Petition as moot. Petitioner has not objected to the Report.
A district court may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Those portions of the report and recommendation to which objection is made are accorded de novo review if those objections "pinpoint the specific findings that the party disagrees with." United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1360 (11th Cir. 2009); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). Any portions of the report and recommendation to which no specific objection is made are reviewed only for clear error. Liberty Am. Ins. Grp., Inc. v. WestPoint Underwriters, L.L.C., 199 F. Supp. 2d 1271, 1276 (M.D. Fla. 2001); accord Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App'x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006).
This Court finds no clear error with Judge White's well-reasoned analysis and agrees that the Petition must be dismissed.
Accordingly, after careful consideration, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
(1) Judge White's Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 12] is AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED and incorporated into this Order by reference;
(2) the Petition [ECF No. 1] is DISMISSED as moot; and
(3) this case is CLOSED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 1st day of May, 2018.
