Copies of the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, mailed to the petitioner at the
Etowah County Detention Center and to his last known forwarding address, have been returned by
the Postal Service as undeliverable. The petitioner has not notified the court of an updated address.
Attempting to serve these latest orders on the petitioner at non-viable addresses would be
superfluous.
