ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, ECF No. [1], filed on August 8, 2018 ("Petition"). The Petition was previously referred to the Honorable Patrick A. White for a Report and Recommendations ("R&R") on all dispositive matters. See ECF No. [2]. On August 29, 2018, Judge White issued a R&R recommending that the Petition be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. ECF No. [9]. The R&R also stated that Petitioner could file any objections within fourteen days of receipt of a copy of the R&R. To date, Petitioner has not filed objections, nor has Petitioner sought additional time in which to do so.
The Court has conducted a de novo review of Judge White's R&R, the record, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds Judge White's R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in Judge White's R&R and concludes that the Petition must be dismissed for the reasons set forth therein.
For the foregoing reasons, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. Magistrate Judge White's R&R, ECF No. [9], is ADOPTED;
2. The Petition, ECF No. [1], is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION;
3. All pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT; and,
4. The Clerk shall CLOSE this case.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 20th day of September, 2018.
