The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION
James V. Brown, Jr.,
Petitioner,
v. Case No. 1:25cv362
Warden, London Correctional Institution,
Respondent.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) filed
by the Magistrate Judge on September 3, 2025 (Doc. 14).
Proper notice has been given to the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C),
including notice that the parties 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). No objections to the Magistrate Judge’s R&R (Doc. 14) have been filed
and the time to do so has expired.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the R&R (Doc. 14) of the Magistrate Judge is
hereby ADOPTED. Consistent with the recommendation by the Magistrate Judge, the
instant petition is DISMISSED, without prejudice, for failure to exhaust available state-
court remedies before applying for federal habeas corpus relief.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
