JOSE DIAZ v. M. MARTIN


MEMORANDUM ORDER OVERRULING PETITIONER'S OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING

THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Petitioner Jose Diaz, a federal prisoner confined in Beaumont, Texas, brought this petition for writ of habeas corpus.

The Court ordered that this matter be referred to the Honorable Keith F. Giblin, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this Court. The magistrate judge has submitted a Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge. The magistrate judge recommends dismissing the petition.

The Court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge, along with the record and the pleadings. Petitioner filed objections to the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation.

The Court has conducted a de novo review of the objections in relation to the pleadings and the applicable law. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). After careful consideration, the Court concludes the objections are without merit. Petitioner argues that the writ of habeas corpus has been suspended if relief is not available to him under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 or § 2241. This claim lacks merit. The savings clause under § 2255 does not violate the Suspension Clause of the United States Constitution. Wesson v. U.S. Penitentiary, Beaumont, 305 F.3d 343, 346-47 (5th Cir. 2002).

ORDER

Accordingly, petitioner's objections are OVERRULED. The findings of fact and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct, and the report of the magistrate judge is ADOPTED. A final judgment will be entered in this case in accordance with the magistrate judge's recommendation.
