Civil Action No. CV-12-S-2025-M

ORDER
This petition for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 comes before the
court on the report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Paul Greene. Petitioner
challenges his confinement at the Etowah County Detention Center in Etowah County,
Alabama, pending his removal to Jamaica pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality
Act of 1952, as amended, 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101 et seq. Upon preliminary review,
Magistrate Judge Green recommended that this action be dismissed without prejudice
because the petitioner had previously filed another pro se § 2241 action in this court
that raises the same claims as this action.1 The parties were given twenty-one days to
file objections to the recommendation,2 however no objections have been filed.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo the record and the report and

recommendation, the court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation is due to be, and hereby is, ADOPTED. Accordingly, this action is
DISMISSED without prejudice.
DONE this 9th day of July, 2012.
