Civil Action No. 17-1366

Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly

MEMORANDUM ORDER
This case has been referred to United States Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly for
pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 636 and Local Rule of
Civil Procedure 72.
On December 8, 2017, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report (Doc. 10) recommending
that Petitioner Brian Jones’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc.
1), be dismissed as moot because Petitioner challenged his pre-trial custody but has since been
convicted and released from custody. The Report was served on the parties, and no objections
have been filed.1
After a de novo review of the pleadings and documents in this case and the Magistrate
Judge’s Report, the Court concurs with the recommendation. Accordingly, the following Order
is entered:
The Petition (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED AS MOOT. The Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation is hereby adopted as the Opinion of the District Court.
