UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY CENTRAL DIVISION LEXINGTON CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-422-JBC CHARLES L. SIMPSON, V. PLAINTIFF, MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER JAILER J. JONES, et al., DEFENDANTS. ********** Pending before the court is Charles Simpson s pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus (R.1), motion for writ pre-exempting a Commonwealth of Kentucky Woodford County indictment (R.11), and Supplemental to Additional Pleadings & Motion of Pre-exemption of Woodford Co. Indictment (R.15).1 Having received no objection from Simpson, the court accepts the conclusions of the Magistrate Judge s Report and Recommendation (R.22). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that: (1) The Magistrate Judge s Report and Recommendation (R.22) is ADOPTED as the opinion of the court. (2)The petition for writ of habeas corpus (R. 1) is DENIED WITH PREJUDICE; (3) The motion for writ pre-exempting a Woodford County indictment (R.11) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; Because Simpson is proceeding pro se, the court applies a less stringent standard than it would otherwise apply in reviewing the present petition. See Cruz v. Beto, 405 U.S. 319 (1972); Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972); Malone v. Colyer, 710 F.2d 258, 260 (6th Cir. 1983). 1 (4) The Supplemental to Additional Pleadings & Motion of Pre-exemption of Woodford Co. Indictment (R.15) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as described in the Report and Recommendation; (5) This court WILL NOT ISSUE a certificate of appealability, pursuant to 28 U.S.C ยง 2253(c), because no reasonable jurist would find the district court s assessment of the petitioner s constitutional claims debatable or wrong; and (6) This matter is STRICKEN from the court s active docket.
