TAMMY L. LAWTON, Plaintiff, v. MIKE MAHONEY; ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF MONTANA, Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On December 5, 2011, Petitioner Tammy Lawton, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this action seeking a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Subsequent Orders of this Court have all been returned as undeliverable because failed to keep the Court apprised of her current address. Docs. 3, 5-7, & 9. Accordingly, United States Magistrate Judge Ostby has recommended the petition for habeas corpus be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule of Procedure 5.2(b). Not surprisingly, Lawton did not file objections to Judge Ostby's Findings and Recommendations within 14 days as required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. Lawton's Petition (doc. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE;
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter, by separate document, a judgment of dismissal; and
3. A certificate of appealability is DENIED.
