ORDER

Petitioner Curtis Tyrone Brown, appearing pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1)(B),(C), the matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin for initial

proceedings. On June 28, 2024, Judge Erwin issued a Report and Recommendation

recommending the court dismiss the Section 2254 action (Ground One) on filing as

untimely, abstain from adjudicating the Section 2241 action (Ground Two) under the

Younger abstention doctrine, and dismiss Ground Two without prejudice. Petitioner was

advised of his right to object to the Report and Recommendation by July 15, 2024. No

objection has been filed. Petitioner has therefore waived his right to appellate review of

the factual and legal issues addressed in the report. Cassanova v. Ulibarri, 595 F.3d 1120,

1123 (10th Cir. 2010).

Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. #15],

DISMISSES the Section 2254 action as untimely, and DISMISSES without prejudice the

Section 2241 action under the Younger abstention.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 7th day of August, 2024. 4]
