CIVIL ACTION NO.
1:17-CV-4622-AT-JCF

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation [Doc. 6] that Petitioner’s § 2254 petition for habeas corpus be
dismissed without prejudice as a result of Petitioner’s failure to comply with the
Court’s lawful orders requiring him to pay the $5.00 filing fee and to keep the
Court informed of his current address.
No objections have been filed in response to the Magistrate Judge’s Report
and Recommendation. Therefore, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and
Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court has reviewed the
Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation for clear error and finds none. Accordingly,
the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation as the
opinion of the Court. For the reasons stated in Magistrate Judge’s Report and

Recommendation,

Petitioner’s

action

is

DISMISSED

WITHOUT

PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of March, 2018.
