IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA, NORTHERN DIVISION WOODBURCK NOE, Plaintiff, v. LEEPOSEY DANIELS, LUTHER STRANGE, and ALABAMA BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES, Defendants. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:14cv733-MHT (WO) OPINION Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, petitioner, a state inmate, filed this lawsuit seeking habeas relief. This lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that petitioner’s writ petition exhaust state be denied remedies. because Also he before has failed to the court are petitioner’s objections to the recommendation. After an independent and de novo review of the record, the court concludes that the petitioner’s objections should be overruled and the magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted. Admittedly, the magistrate judge cites authority on parole revocations, rather than parole denials, even though the petitioner here contests his parole denial. However, under Alabama law, the appeal procedure for both revocations and denials is the same. Therefore, the recommendation that petitioner must first exhaust his state remedies by seeking a writ of certiorari in state circuit court is correct, and does not change. See Baker v. State, 651 So. 2d 72, 73 (Ala. Crim. App. 1994) (“A petition for a writ of certiorari filed in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County is the appropriate remedy for review of the actions of the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles in reference to the granting, denying, or revocation of paroles.”) (internal citations omitted). An appropriate judgment will be entered. DONE, this the 31st day of December, 2014. /s/ Myron H. Thompson UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
