The magistrate judge to whom the case was referred entered a report and recommendation (“R&R”) on June 2, 2016, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), in which he concluded that this action is due to be dismissed without prejudice, because this court lacks jurisdiction to hear petitioner’s habeas claim pursuant to the “savings clause” of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e).
