Clemons v. Hill

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION

Robert J. Clemons, Case No. 1:21-cv-1970

Petitioner,

v. ORDER AND JUDGEMENT ENTRY

Warden Leon Hill,

Respondent.

On December 16, 2024, United States Magistrate Judge Amanda M. Knapp issued a Report and Recommendation (“R & R”) recommending I deny Petitioner’s habeas corpus petition brought with the assistance of counsel and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 because the sole ground for relief raised in the petition is not cognizable on federal habeas review and is without merit. (Doc. No. 11). In the R & R, she notified the parties: Any objections to this Report and Recommendation must be filed with the Clerk of Courts within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of this document. Failure to file objections within the specified time may forfeit the right to appeal the District Court’s order. See Berkshire v. Dahl, 928 F.3d 520, 530 (6th Cir. 2019); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985).

(Id. at 17). More than fourteen days have passed, and no party has filed any objection to Judge Knapp’s R & R. I consider their failure to file objections to “constitute a waiver of subsequent review,” Local R. 72.3(b), and adopt Judge Knapp’s R & R in its entirety as the final Order of this Court. Petitioner’s petition is denied, and this case is closed. So Ordered. s/ Jeffrey J. Helmick United States District Judge
