UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
NORTHERN DIVISION
LUDWIG BROWN
V.

PETITIONER
CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:17-CV-67-DPJ-FKB

WARDEN L. SHULTS

RESPONDENT
ORDER

This habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is before the Court on the Report and
Recommendation [15] entered by United States Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball. Petitioner
Ludwig Brown challenges a prison disciplinary proceeding in which he was found guilty and
penalized with a loss of 27 days of good-time credit. Reasoning that Brown received sufficient
notice of the charge against him and that the Disciplinary Hearing Officer’s decision was
supported by some evidence, Judge Ball recommended that habeas relief be denied. Brown
failed to file objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to do so has now
expired.
Because the Court agrees with its conclusions, the Court adopts the unopposed Report
and Recommendation [15] as the opinion of the Court. Petitioner Ludwig Brown’s habeas
petition is denied. A separate judgment will be entered in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 58.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 20th day of May, 2019.
s/ Daniel P. Jordan III
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
