IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
WAYCROSS DIVISION

THOMAS HALSEY,
Plaintiff,
CIVIL ACTION NO.: CV513-096

V.

BRIAN OWENS, Commissioner;
THERESA LINDSEY; TAMMY
G. STANKOWITZ; and
CONTREICA DAWSON,
Defendants

ORDER

After an independent review of the record, the Court concurs with the Magistrate
Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which objections have been filed. In his objections,
Plaintiff reasserts that "defendants are not exempt from acknowledging the law in the
performance of their job" in calculating credit time to which Plaintiff claims he is entitled. As
noted in the Magistrate Judge's Report, this claim must be pursued through habeas corpus
proceedings. Further, Plaintiff states that he has only one case in this Court other than this
one, which would qualify as a "strike." Plaintiffs belief that he is allowed "three strikes" in
each court is incorrect. The Prison Litigation Reform Act pertains to civil actions brought in
"a court of the United States."

AO 72A
(Rev. 8/82)

Plaintiffs objections are without merit. The Report and Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge is adopted as the opinion of the Court. Plaintiffs case is DISMISSED,
without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is hereby authorized and directed to enter an
appropriate Judgment of Dismissal.
SO ORDERED, this
