Singh v. Gillis

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI WESTERN DIVISION

BALWINDER SINGH PETITIONER

v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:20-cv-89-TBM-MTP

SHAWN R. GILLIS RESPONDENT

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS

This matter is before the Court on submission of the Report and Recommendation [7] entered by United States Magistrate Judge Michael T. Parker on August 11, 2020. Judge Parker recommends that the Motion to Dismiss [6] for Mootness filed by the Respondent should be granted because the Petitioner was removed from the United States to India on June 1, 2020. The Petitioner has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation, and the time for filing an objection has expired. “When a party fails timely to file written objections to the magistrate judge’s proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation, that party is barred from attacking on appeal the unobjected-to proposed findings and conclusions which the district court accepted, except for plain error.” Casas v. Aduddell, 404 F. App’x 879, 881 (5th Cir. 2010); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 152, 106 S. Ct. 466, 88 L. Ed. 2d 435 (1985) (“There is no indication that Congress, in enacting § 636(b)(1)(C), intended to require a district judge to review a magistrate’s report to which no objections are filed.”). Having considered Judge Parker’s Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that it is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Report and Recommendation [7] entered by United States Magistrate Judge Michael T. Parker on August 11, 2020 is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss [6] as moot is GRANTED. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [1] is DISMISSED as MOOT. THIS, THE 13th DAY OF MAY, 2021.
