Opinion of the Court

THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge (the “Report”) [ECF No. 5]. Petitioner filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, which the Court construes as a petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, challenging his continued detention at the Metro West Detention Center following a criminal conviction in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida. [ECF No. 1]. The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Reid for a ruling on all pre-trial non-dispositive matters and for a Report and Recommendation on any dispositive matters. [ECF No. 2]. Judge Reid’s Report recommends that the Court dismiss the petition as moot as Petitioner is no longer being held at the Metro West Detention Center.1 Petitioner has failed to timely object to the Report. A district court may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Any portions of the report and recommendation to which no specific objection is made are reviewed only for clear error. Liberty Am. Ins. Grp., Inc. v. WestPoint Underwriters, L.L.C., 199 F. Supp. 2d 1271, 1276 (M.D. Fla. 2001); accord Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). The Court has reviewed the record and finds no clear error with Judge Reid’s well-reasoned analysis and conclusion that the Petition should be dismissed as moot.

Accordingly, after careful consideration, itis ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: (1) Judge Reid’s Report [ECF No. 5] is AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED and incorporated into this Order by reference; (2) Petitioner’s Petition for Habeas Corpus Relief [ECF No. 1] is DISMISSED as MOOT; (3) No certificate of appealability shall issue; and (4) This case shall be CLOSED.
