BECKLEY DIVISION
RASHEE GRANT,
Petitioner,

CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:11-cv-00571
JOEL ZIEGLER,
Respondent.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Petitioner=s August 23, 2011, Application Under 28 U.S.C. '
2241 for Writ of Habeas Corpus By a Person in State or Federal Custody (Document 1), and the
Petitioner’s August 30, 2011, Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Costs
(Document 4) filed in this matter.
By Standing Order (Document 3) entered on August 23, 2011, this action was referred to
the Honorable R. Clarke VanDervort, United States Magistrate Judge, for submission to this Court
of proposed findings of fact and recommendation for disposition, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 636.
On October 9, 2013, the Magistrate Judge submitted a Proposed Findings and Recommendation
(Document 8) wherein it is recommended that this Court deny the Petitioner’s Application to
Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Costs, dismiss the Petitioner’s Application Under 28
U.S.C. ' 2241 for Writ of Habeas Corpus By a Person in State or Federal Custody, and remove
1
this matter from the Court’s docket. Objections to the Magistrate Judge=s Proposed Findings and
Recommendation were due by October 28, 2013.1
Neither party has timely filed objections to the Magistrate Judge=s Proposed Findings and
Recommendation. The Court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the
factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or
recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985).
Failure to file timely objections constitutes a waiver of de novo review and the Petitioner=s right to
appeal this Court=s Order. 28 U.S.C. ' 636(b)(1); see also Snyder v. Ridenour, 889 F.2d 1363,
1366 (4th Cir. 1989); United States v. Schronce, 727 F.2d 91, 94 (4th Cir. 1984).
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS and incorporates herein the findings and
recommendation of the Magistrate Judge as contained in the Proposed Findings and
Recommendation, and ORDERS that the Petitioner’s Application to Proceed Without Prepayment
of Fees and Costs (Document 4) be DENIED, the Petitioner’s Application Under 28 U.S.C. '
2241 for Writ of Habeas Corpus By a Person in State or Federal Custody (Document 1) be
DISMISSED, and this matter be REMOVED from the Court’s docket.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a certified copy of this Order to Magistrate Judge
VanDervort, counsel of record, and any unrepresented party.
