FRANCISCO VENEGAS, 
 
              Respondent. 
 
 
ORDER 
 
Petitioner Tinatin Kurdobadze  is currently detained by Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement at the El Valle Detention Facility in Willacy County, Texas.  She is subject to a final 
order of removal, but in this habeas action alleges that her removal is not reasonably foreseeable, 
warranting her immediate release based on Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). (Pet., Doc. 
1).  The Government moves to dismiss the Petition. (MtD, Doc. 22) 
A United States Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court deny the motion to dismiss, 
grant the writ  of habeas corpus , and order that Respondent release Petitioner “ subject to 
supervision in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(3) and 8 C.F.R. § 241.5[.]” (R&R, Doc. 37)  The 
Court gave the parties until June 3 to file any objections to the R&R. (Order, Doc. 1)  The deadline 
passed with no objections filed. 
“When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear 
error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), 
Advisory Comm. Note (1983).  The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and finds 
no clear error within it. 
As a result, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 37).  It is: 
ORDERED that the Government’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 22) is DENIED;
