MICHAEL SCHNEIDER, District Judge
The Court referred the above-entitled and numbered civil action to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love. The Magistrate Judge presented for consideration the Magistrate Judge's Report, containing proposed findings of fact and recommendations for dismissing this case as moot because Petitioner has been released from custody.
Respondent filed objections to the Report. Respondent contends that the Director of TDCJ-CID is not the proper Respondent because Petitioner has never been in the custody of TDCJ-CID, but was in the custody of the Sheriff of Smith County, Texas. This Court made a de novo review of Respondent's objections and determined that they have merit.
This Court finds that the Magistrate Judge's conclusions for disposition of this case are correct, and adopts them as the Court's conclusions. The Court therefore
ORDERS that Respondent's motion to dismiss the Director of TDCJ-CID as a Respondent is GRANTED;
ORDERS the Clerk of Court to correct the docket sheet to show that the proper Respondent in this case is Sheriff of Smith County, Texas; and
ORDERS, ADJUDGES, and DECREES that this action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE; ORDERS that Petitioner is DENIED a certificate of appealability; and
ORDERS that all motions not previously ruled on are denied.
