ORDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On June 24, 2011, Magistrate Judge Timothy P. Greeley issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that Petitioner Demetrice Johnson’s petition for
writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 be dismissed without prejudice. (Dkt.
No. 21, R&R.) The R&R was duly served on the parties. No objections have been filed, and
the deadline for doing so has expired. Upon review, the Court concludes that the R&R
correctly analyzes the issues and makes a sound recommendation. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

that the June 24, 2011, R&R (Dkt. No. 21) is

APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Dkt. No. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is DENIED. 28
