THE STATE OF ARKANSAS
DEFENDANT
ORDER
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation issued by the Honorable Barry A.
Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 6. Judge
Bryant recommends that Petitioner’s Amended Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for Writ of
Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 5) be dismissed without prejudice as premature for failure to exhaust
his state court remedies.
Petitioner has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to
do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Upon review, finding that there is no clear error on
the face of the record and that Judge Bryant’s reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the Report
and Recommendation (ECF No. 6) in toto. Petitioner’s Amended Petition under 28 U.S.C. §
2254 for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 5) is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 4th day of June, 2024.
