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 be dismissed without prejudice because he
has failed to exhaust state remedies.

Also before the

court is petitioner’s motion for reconsideration (doc.
no. 70), which the court construes as objections to the
recommendation.

After

an

independent

and

de

novo

review of the record, including petitioner’s response
to the order to show cause (doc. no. 65), the court

concludes
overruled

that
and

petitioner’s
the

magistrate

objections
judge’s

should

be

recommendation

adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 16th day of December, 2016.
