CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:13-cv-14980
(consolidated with 5:12-cv-01077)
JOEL ZIEGLER,
Respondent.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
The Petitioner filed two Applications for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal
Custody under 28 U.S.C. ' 2241 (Document 1 in Civil Action 5:12-cv-01077; Document 1 in Civil
Action 5:13-cv-14980).
By Standing Order (Document 2 in Civil Action 5:12-cv-01077;
Document 3 in Civil Action 5:13-cv-14980), these actions were 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.
By Order of August 13, 2014 (Document 14 in Civil Action 5:12-cv-01077; Document 7 in
Civil Action 5:13-cv-14980), the Magistrate Judge consolidated the two civil actions and
designated Civil Action 5:13-cv-14980 as the lead case.
Additionally, on that date, the
Magistrate Judge submitted a Proposed Findings and Recommendation (Document 8 in Civil
Action 5:13-cv-14980) wherein it is recommended that this Court dismiss the Petitioner’s
1
Applications for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody under 28 U.S.C. ' 2241
and remove this matter from the Court’s docket.
Neither party has timely filed objections to the Magistrate Judge=s Proposed Findings and
Recommendation, which were due by September 2, 2014. 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 Applications for Writ of Habeas Corpus by
a Person in Federal Custody under 28 U.S.C. ' 2241 (Document 1 in Civil Action 5:12-cv-01077;
Document 1 in Civil Action 5:13-cv-14980) be DISMISSED, and that 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.
