Ralph Lynch, Petitioner, v. Stewart Hudson, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER
MICHAEL R. BARRETT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) filed by the Magistrate Judge on August 10, 2022 (Doc. 145).
Proper notice was given to the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), including notice that they may forfeit rights on appeal if they failed to file objections to the R&R in a timely manner. United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981); see Berkshire v. Dahl, 928 F.3d 520, 530 (6th Cir. 2019). No objections to the Magistrate Judge's R&R (Doc. 145) have been filed.
The R&R (Doc. 145) of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. Consistent with the recommendation by the Magistrate Judge (and based on the Suggestion of Death of Petitioner Ralph Lynch (Doc. 144) filed by his counsel), Lynch's Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 11) is hereby DISMISSED with prejudice. The sole pending motion (Doc. 104) remaining for decision in this case is DENIED as moot and Petitioner's outstanding objections (Docs. 133, 141) to the various Reports and Recommendations (Docs. 118, 130, 138) by the Magistrate Judge regarding this motion are OVERRULED as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
