Civil Action No. 4:13-CV-01636
(Judge Brann)

(Magistrate Judge Schwab)

ORDER
July 6, 2015
BACKGROUND:
The undersigned has given full and independent consideration to the June 2,
2015 report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab
recommending that Joshua Lookingbill’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights case be
dismissed for failure to prosecute or, in the alternative, grant Defendant’s motion
to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (ECF No.
38). No objections have been filed to the report and recommendation.
Because this Court agrees with Magistrate Judge Schwab’s thorough
analysis of the pertinent issues, the Court will not rehash the sound reasoning of
the Magistrate Judge and will adopt the report and recommendation in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.

United States Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab’s June 2, 2015
Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED in full. (ECF No. 38).

2.

Petitioner Robert Hosby’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus is
DISMISSED for failure to prosecute.

3.

The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE the case.

BY THE COURT:
