ORDER  
 Before the Court is Petitioner’s “Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus” (Dkt. No. 1) (“Petition”), 
Petitioner’s “Motion for Expedited Consideration” (Dkt. No. 2), Respondents’ “Response to Petition for 
Writ of Habeas Corpus and Motion to Dismiss” (Dkt. No. 12) (“MTD”), the Magistrate Judge’s “Report 
and Recommendation  to Dismiss Petitioner’s Habeas Petition ” (Dkt. No. 14) (“R&R”) , “Petitioner’s 
Objections to Report and Recommendation” (Dkt. No. 15) (“Objections”) and “Respondents’ Response to 
petitioner’s Objections to Report and Recommendation” (Dkt. No. 16) (“Response”).  
The R&R recommends that the Court : (1) deny the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) sua sponte, (2) deny the 
MTD (Dkt. No. 12) and “Motion for Expedited Consideration” (Dkt. No. 2) as moot, and (3)  direct the 
Clerk of Court to close the case. Dkt. No. 14 at 1.  
When a party objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the Court reviews the 
matter de novo. United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989). After such review, the Court 
hereby OVERRULES Petitioner’s Objections (Dkt. No. 15) and ADOPTS the R&R (Dkt. No. 14). 
Accordingly, the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) is hereby DENIED sua sponte. The MTD (Dkt. No. 12) and 
“Motion for Expedited Consideration” (Dkt. No. 2) are further DENIED as moot. The Clerk of the Court 
is DIRECTED to close the case.
