IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
HANIF ASIM SAEED,
Petitioner,

CIVIL ACTION
NO. 18-00906

v.
THOMAS S. McGINLEY, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER

AND NOW, this 25th day of November 2019, upon consideration of the Amended
Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus and accompanying Memorandum of Law, (ECF
No. 10), Respondents’ Response in Opposition, (ECF No. 17), and the Report and
Recommendation of U.S. Magistrate Judge David Strawbridge, (ECF No. 18), it is
hereby ORDERED that:
1. Magistrate Judge Strawbridge’s Report and Recommendation is APPROVED
and ADOPTED;1
2. Saeed’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus is DENIED and DISMISSED
with prejudice;
3. No certificate of appealability shall issue;2

There are no objections to the Report and Recommendation. When no objection is made to
a report and recommendation, the court should, as a matter of good practice, “satisfy itself that there
is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b) advisory committee’s notes; see also Oldrati v. Apfel, 33 F. Supp. 2d 397, 399 (E.D. Pa.
1998) (“In the absence of a timely objection, therefore, this Court will review [a] Magistrate Judge[’s]
. . . Report and Recommendation for ‘clear error.’”). No clear error appears on the face of the record
and the Court accordingly accepts Judge Strawbridge’s recommendation.

Reasonable jurists would not debate the Court’s disposition of petitioner’s claims. See Slack
v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).
