LUCAS HOLLAND, Plaintiff, v. WARDEN MARK K. WILLIAMS, Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER [Resolving Doc. 16]
JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE:
Pro se Petitioner Lucas Holland brought this emergency habeas corpus petition due to a COVID-19 outbreak at FCI Elkton, where Holland was then incarcerated. The Court denied that petition without prejudice citing Petitioner's failure to properly exhaust his claim. The Court later granted Petitioner's request to reopen the case.
Doc. 1.
Doc. 8.
Doc. 12.
On July 26, 2021 Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Henderson recommended dismissing Holland's petition without prejudice. Because Holland's petition seeks injunctive relief against FCI Elkton and Holland is no longer incarcerated there, Judge Henderson determined that Holland's complaint is moot. 1
Doc. 16.
Holland is incarcerated at Montgomery FPC in Alabama. See https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ Inmate number: 13306-025 (last visited Nov. 11, 2021). At the time Judge Henderson issued her opinion, Holland was incarcerated at FCI Ashland in Kentucky.
Doc. 16.
Because no party has objected to the Report and Recommendation, this Court may adopt the R&R without further review. Moreover, having conducted its own review of the petition and record, the Court agrees with the legal conclusions in the R&R.
Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); L.R. 72.3(b).
Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES Petitioner Holland's petition without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED. 2
