Petitioner Thomas Duane Merrero Pellecier, Texas prisoner number

Recommendations of the magistrate judge to whom this case was referred pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), Dkt. No. 20 (“M&R”). The deadline to file objections to the
magistrate judge’s proposed findings and recommendations has passed, and the

GRANTS Respondent’s motion to dismiss, Dkt. No. 12; and DISMISSES
WITHOUT PREJUDICE the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, Dkt. No. 1. The
Clerk shall close this case after entering the accompanying judgment.
It is so ORDERED.
