No. 4:13-CV-2406 CAS-SPM

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on petitioner Craig M. Lancaster’s Motion for Summary
Judgment. Lancaster is proceeding on a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2254. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Shirley Padmore Mensah,
for report and recommendation on all dispositive matters and for final disposition on all nondispositive matters, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).
On August 1, 2016, Judge Mensah filed a Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge, which recommended that Lancaster’s motion for summary judgment be denied
without prejudice because it is duplicative of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. The parties were
allowed fourteen (14) days to file objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation,
but no objections were filed within the time permitted.
After careful review of the record, the Court concurs in the recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge.

Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge is sustained, adopted and incorporated herein. [Doc. 24]
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Craig M. Lancaster’s motion for summary judgment is
DENIED without prejudice. [Doc. 22]
