Before the Court is the United States Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 11) under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The United States Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court deny Petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus because Petitioner has not exhausted his claims in Louisiana's state courts.

Having considered the Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1), the Amended Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 3), the Answer (Doc. 10), and the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 11), the Court approves the United States Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and adopts the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the United States Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 11) is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Docs. 1, 3) is DENIED without prejudice.
