OPINION AND ORDER On December 19, 2017, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (ECF No. 4) be granted and that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus be dismissed as moot. (ECF No. 5.) Although the parties were advised of the right to object to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, and of the consequences of failing to do so, no objections have been filed. The Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 5) is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. The Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (ECF No. 4) is GRANTED. This action is hereby DISMISSED.

Therefore, the Court DECLINES to issue a certificate of appealability. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter final JUDGMENT of dismissal. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/ George C. Smith__________________ GEORGE C.
