ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On this day, the above-styled matter came before the Court for consideration of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge John S. Kaull [Doc. No. 14] dated December 21, 2007, to which neither party filed objections. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is required to make a de novo review of those portions of the magistrate judge's findings to which objection is made. However, failure to file objections to the magistrate judge's proposed findings and recommendation permits the District Court to review the recommendation under the standards that the District Court believes are appropriate, and under these circumstances, the parties' right to de novo review is waived. See Webb v. Califano , 468 F. Supp. 825 (E.D. Cal. 1979).
Accordingly, because no objections have been filed, this report and recommendation ("R R") will be reviewed for clear error. Upon review of the R R and the record, it is the opinion of this Court that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 14] should be, and is, hereby ORDERED ADOPTED.
For reasons more fully stated in the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge John S. Kaull [Doc. No. 14], this Court ORDERS that plaintiff's § 2241 petition be construed as a § 2255 motion and transferred to the Eastern District of Virginia for all further proceedings.
It is so ORDERED.
The Clerk is directed to transmit true copies of this Order to all counsel of record.
