MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 25, 2014, the magistrate judge entered a Report and Recommendation,
(doc. 10), recommending the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed with prejudice.
The Clerk attempted to send Petitioner a copy of the Report and Recommendation at the
address he provided, but it was returned with the note: “SEND BACK NOT HERE.” (Doc.
11). Petitioner has not provide the court with a new address. A search of the Alabama
Department of Corrections database indiates there are no inmates with the first name
“George” and the last name “Peterson,” leading the court to believe Petitioner has been
released from custody. As one can expect, no objections to the Report and Recommendation
have been filed.
The court has considered the entire file in this action, together with the report and
recommendation, and has reached an independent conclusion that the report and
recommendation is due to be adopted and approved.

Accordingly, the court hereby adopts and approves the findings and recommendation
of the magistrate judge as the findings and conclusions of this court. The petition for writ
of habeas corpus is due to be DISMISSED. A separate Order will be entered.
DONE this 18th day of March 2014.
