ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND

RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 18)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (Doc. 1)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT

Petitioner, currently in the custody of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs

Enforcement (“ICE”) and proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2241 on January 10, 2005. (Doc. 1). 

On September 2, 2005, the Magistrate Judge assigned to the case filed a Report and

Recommendation recommending the petition for writ of habeas corpus be DISMISSED for lack

of ripeness because, as a result of Petitioner’s appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for

the Ninth Circuit, which became final on August 24, 2005, neither the three-month period of

removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1)(B) nor the six-month presumptive period of reasonableness

for detention established in Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, had expired. This Report and

Recommendation was served on all parties and contained notice that any objections were to be

filed within thirty days from the date of service of that order. Petitioner submitted a notice of

change of address on September 22, 2005, and the Report and Recommendation was reserved on

October 22, 2005. To date, the parties have not filed timely objections to the Report and

Recommendation.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that

the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper

analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Report and Recommendation, filed September 2, 2005 (Court Doc. 18) is

ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. This petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1), is DISMISSED; and

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to ENTER JUDGMENT and close the file. 

This order terminates the action in its entirety.
