UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS CAROL ROYAL, II,

Petitioner,

v.

R. ZUNIGA,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00260-LJO-BAM HC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDING 

DISMISSAL OF THE PETITION FOR 

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AS MOOT

(Doc. 12) 

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner sought an order directing the Bureau of Prisons to credit 

him for time served after the offense date for a conviction that had later been invalidated. The Court 

referred the matter to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rules 302 

and 304.

On May 1, 2015, Respondent moved to dismiss the case as moot since the Bureau of Prisons 

had credited Petitioner for the time served and released him from prison. Petitioner did not file any 

opposition to the motion to dismiss. On June 26, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and 

recommendations in which she recommended that the Court dismiss the petition as moot. 

The findings and recommendations, which were served on all parties by mail on June 26, 

2015, provided that objections could be served within thirty days and replies within fourteen days 

after the filing of any objections. Neither party filed objections.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), having carefully reviewed the 

entire file de novo and considered Petitioner's objections, the Court finds that the findings and 

recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that the findings and recommendations filed June 

26, 2015, be adopted in full and the petition dismissed as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
