On November 28, 2017, the magistrate judge to whom the case is referred entered a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), recommending that Barber’s habeas petition be denied with prejudice.

However, Barber did not provide the court with any other address and a search of the websites for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Alabama Department of Corrections do not evidence that he is incarcerated at this time.

As a result, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is due to be DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. A separate final order will be entered.
