ORDER
This pro se case was referred to Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly for proceedings
in accordance with the Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636, and the Local Rules of Court
applicable to Magistrate Judges.
Mr. Reid is proceeding pro se and currently detained at the Allegheny County Jail
pending trial in a state criminal case. 	He filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus to
challenge his pretrial detainment under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF 1). 	Judge Kelly issued a
thorough R&R in which she recommended that this Court (1) dismiss the Petition due to legal
inadequacies; and (2) deny a certificate of appealability. 	Mr. Reid filed no objections. 	On
careful review, the Court finds no clear error, and so, it is hereby ORDERED that Judge
Kelly’s R&R (ECF 2) is ADOPTED in full, and the Petition is dismissed and certificate of
appealability is denied. The Clerk of Court shall mark this case CLOSED.
DATED: October 8, 2026 	BY THE COURT:
