 ORDER

Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 for a Writ of

Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody. Also pending before the Court is

Respondent's Motion to Dismiss Because of Death of Petitioner (Doc. 10).

On December 10, 2012, Magistrate Judge Hector C. Estrada issued a Report and

Recommendation (Doc. 11) in which he recommended the Motion to Dismiss be granted and

the Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal

Custody be dismissed. The magistrate judge advised the parties that any written objections

were to be served and filed within 14 days of being served with a copy of the Report and

Recommendation. No objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.

After an independent review, the Court finds dismissal is appropriate.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:

1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 11) is ADOPTED.

2. The Motion to Dismiss Because of Death of Petitioner (Doc. 10) is GRANTED.
