Civil Action No. 7:18-cv-031-O

ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
After making an independent review of the pleadings, files, and records in this case, and of
the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, I am of the
opinion that the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and reasons for dismissal set forth in the
Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation are correct and they are hereby adopted and incorporated by
reference as the Findings of the Court.
The civil rights claims that Petitioner included in his habeas petition have been severed from
the instant case and are now pending before the Court in a new civil rights action opened pursuant
to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED without
prejudice for failure to exhaust state remedies.
SO ORDERED this 6th day of April, 2018.
