PER CURIAM: 

USCA11 Case: 15-10157 Date Filed: 04/14/2016 Page: 1 of 2

Michael DeVaughn, a pro se California state prisoner, filed this action 

pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 

403 U.S. 388, 91 S. Ct. 1999 (1971), alleging statutory violations in connection 

with his arrest by the United States Marshals Service and seeking injunctive relief 

to remove a federal detainer issued by the U.S. Parole Commission. The 

government moved to dismiss DeVaughn’s Bivens complaint. The Magistrate 

Judge’s Report and Recommendation recommended dismissing without prejudice 

DeVaughn’s Bivens complaint, also construed as a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas 

corpus petition, because, inter alia, DeVaughn was incarcerated in California and 

the federal detainer was issued in Virginia. The district court agreed and dismissed 

DeVaughn’s complaint without prejudice.

DeVaughn appeals the district court’s dismissal of his complaint. After 

review, we affirm the district court’s dismissal without prejudice and find no

reversible error in the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, which the 

district court adopted.

AFFIRMED.
