MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by Michael Leon Dorsett pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 2254. On June 30, 2016, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending this 

matter be dismissed as unexhausted. (Doc. 3). The time to file objections has expired, and 

Petitioner has not objected.

After careful consideration of the record in this case and the magistrate judge’s report, the 

court ADOPTS the report of the magistrate judge and ACCEPTS her recommendations. 

Accordingly, the court finds the petition is due to be dismissed as unexhausted and a certificate 

of appealability is due to be denied.

A separate order will be entered. 

DONE and ORDERED on August 8, 2016.
