    Antonio Treyvll McGraw-Williams, 
 
Petitioner, 
 
v. 
 
United States of America, 
 
Respondent. 
  File No. 26-cv-2419 (ECT/DLM) 
 
 
 
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT 
AND RECOMMENDATION 
________________________________________________________________________ 
Petitioner Antonio Trevyll McGraw-Williams commenced this action pro se by 
filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.  Pet. [ECF No. 1].  The case is before the Court 
on a Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 4] issued by Magistrate Judge Douglas L. 
Micko.  Judge Micko recommends: (1) denying McGraw-Williams’s petition without 
prejudice because McGraw-Williams may not seek habeas corpus relief while his criminal 
proceedings remain ongoing; (2) denying McGraw-Williams’s application to proceed in 
forma pauperis [ECF No. 2]; and (3) restricting McGraw Williams from initiating new 
litigation in this District that seeks to commence a new proceeding challenging the legality 
of his criminal prosecution, conviction, or eventual sentence, unless he is represented by 
counsel or receives advance permission of a judicial officer of this District.  See R&R.  
McGraw-Williams filed objections to the Report and Recommendation.  See ECF Nos. 5, 
6.  McGraw-Williams’s objections mean the Report and Recommendation is reviewed de 
novo pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 72.2(b)(3).  I have undertaken that 
de novo review and agree with Judge Micko’s analysis and conclusions.
