MEMORANDUM OPINION
Steven Crenshaw, an Alabama state prisoner acting pro se, filed this habeas corpus
action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. 1). On January 23, 2017, the magistrate judge
to whom the case was referred for preliminary review entered a report and
recommendation (“R&R”). (Doc. 4). Specifically, he recommended that this action be
transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Despite being afforded an
opportunity to object the magistrate judge’s recommendation, Crenshaw has not filed any
objections.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the court is of the
opinion that the magistrate judge’s findings are due to be and are hereby ADOPTED and

his recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, Crenshaw’s petition for a writ of
habeas corpus is due to be transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Alabama.
The court will enter a separate Order.
DONE and ORDERED this 28th day of February, 2018.
