Background
Socrates Moises Gonzalez-Valenzuela, proceeding without counsel, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 against the warden of FCI Beaumont Low.
The district court referred the matter to U.S. Magistrate Judge Christine L. Stetson. She recommended dismissing the petition without prejudice because Gonzalez-Valenzuela had failed to exhaust administrative remedies. Neither party objected to the report and recommendation.
