Honnigford v. Williams Doc. 9 Case: 4:20-cv-00873-JJH Doc #: 9 Filed: 03/08/21 1 of 2. PageID #: 48 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION John P. Honnigford, Case No. 4:20-cv-873 Petitioner, v. ORDER Warden Mark Williams, Respondent. Before me is the August 11, 2020 Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Henderson, (Doc. No. 8), recommending I deny pro se Petitioner John P. Honnigford’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, (Doc. No. 1), and his emergency motion for injunctive relief, (Doc. No. 2), because Honnigford fails to show he first exhausted his administrative remedies. Judge Henderson recommends I dismiss the petition without prejudice and deny the motion for injunctive relief as moot. Under the relevant statute, “[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy, any party may serve and file written objections to such proposed findings and recommendations as provided by rules of court.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981). The fourteen-day period has elapsed and no objections have been filed. The failure to file written objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation constitutes a waiver of a determination by the district court of an issue covered in the report. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff’d, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); see also Walters, 638 F.2d at 950; Smith v. Detroit Fed’n of Teachers, Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987) (“[O]nly those Dockets.Justia.com Case: 4:20-cv-00873-JJH Doc #: 9 Filed: 03/08/21 2 of 2. PageID #: 49 specific objections to the magistrate’s report made to the district court will be preserved for appellate review”). Following my review of the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, I adopt the Report and Recommendation, (Doc. No. 8), in its entirety as the Order of the Court. I dismiss Honnigford’s petition without prejudice, United States v. Alam, 960 F.3d 831, 836 (6th Cir. 2020), and deny his motion for injunctive relief, (Doc. No. 2), as moot. Further, I certify there is no basis on which to issue a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253; Fed. R. App. P. 22(b). So Ordered. s/ Jeffrey J. Helmick United States District Judge 2
