OPINION

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, petitioner, a state 

inmate, filed this lawsuit seeking habeas relief. This 

lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation 

of the United States Magistrate Judge that petitioner’s 

writ petition be dismissed without prejudice because he 

has failed to exhaust state remedies. Also before the 

court is petitioner’s motion for reconsideration (doc. 

no. 70), which the court construes as objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

review of the record, including petitioner’s response 

to the order to show cause (doc. no. 65), the court 

Case 2:16-cv-00594-MHT-WC Document 72 Filed 12/16/16 Page 1 of 2
concludes that petitioner’s objections should be 

overruled and the magistrate judge’s recommendation 

adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 16th day of December, 2016.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson
