J. GILBERT, District Judge
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (Doc. 19) of Magistrate Judge Clifford J. Proud recommending that the Court deny petitioner Hosie L. Burgess’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 without prejudice for failure to exhaust state remedies.
After reviewing a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations of the magistrate judge in the report. Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which objections are made. Id. “If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v. Zema Systems Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999).
The Court has received no objection to the Report. The Court has reviewed the entire file and finds that the Report is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 19), DENIES without prejudice
Burgess’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) andDIRECTS the Clerk of Court to enter judgment accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
