Petitioner,
vs.

HOMELAND SECURITY, et al.,
Respondents.
___________________________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT
I referred this matter to the Honorable Jonathan Goodman, United States Magistrate
Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Administrative Order 2003-19 of this Court,
for a ruling on all pre-trial, non-dispositive matters and for a Report on any dispositive matters.
ECF No. 8. On August 18, 2020, Judge Goodman issued a Report and Recommendations
recommending I DENY the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2241(a) (ECF No. 1). ECF No. 11. Petitioner did not file objections to the Report, and the time
to do so has passed. Having considered the record and the relevant legal authorities, I find
Judge Goodman’s Report to be clear, cogent, and compelling. Accordingly, it is ORDERED
and ADJUDGED that:
1.

This Court AFFIRMS and ADOPTS Judge Goodman’s Report and
Recommendation (ECF No. 11) and DENIES the Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(a) (ECF No. 1).

2.

The Court DENIES a Certificate of Appealability.

3.

The Clerk shall CLOSE this case. All pending motions, if any, are DENIED as
moot.
