UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA 
 
Zaki Malik Saleem, 
 
 Petitioner, 
 
v. 
 
Lisa Stenseth, Warden, 
 
 Respondent. 
Civ. No. 25-319 (PAM/DJF) 
 
 
 
                                                    ORDER 
 
            
 This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of 
United States Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster dated May 14, 2026.  The R&R 
recommends that Petitioner Zaki Malik Saleem’s Petition for habeas-corpus relief be 
denied and no certificate of appealability be issued.  Petitioner did not file any objections 
to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed.  D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1). 
This Court must review de novo any portion of an R&R to which specific objections 
are made, but in the absence of objections, the Court reviews the R&R only for clear error.  
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Minn. LR 72.2(b); see also Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 
795 (8th Cir. 1996) (noting that district court need only review un- objected-to R&R for 
clear error).  The Court has reviewed the R&R and finds no error, clear or otherwise, in the 
Magistrate Judge’s reasoning.   
 Accordingly,  IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 
1. The R&R (Docket No. 21) is ADOPTED;  
2. The Petition (Docket No. 1) is DENIED;  
3. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice; and

4. No Certificate of Appealability will issue. 
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
