Case No.: 4:12-cv-02523-RDP-TMP

ORDER

The Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation (Doc. #6) on December 6, 2012,

recommending that Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. #1) be dismissed as moot. 

In particular, the Magistrate Judge found that because Petitioner was released on an order of

supervision on August 2, 2012, he had received the relief sought. (Doc. #6). Therefore, no case or

controversy exists between the parties. (Doc. #6). 

Having now carefully reviewed and considered de novo all of the materials in the court file,1

including the Report and Recommendation, the court is of the opinion that the Report is due to be,

and hereby is, ADOPTED, and the Recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

(Doc. #1) is hereby DISMISSED as MOOT. 

The court notes that it was not required to conduct an independent review of the Report and 1

Recommendation in this case because no party has filed objections. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Thomas

v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985) ("It does not appear that Congress intended to require district court

review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when

neither party objects to those findings."). Nonetheless, the court has carefully reviewed the

Magistrate Judge's Report and agrees with his conclusions.
