Luis Alberto Cab-Suarez, Defendant-Movant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. CR 07-0270-PHX-EHC No. CV-07-1164-PHX-GMS (ECV) ORDER Pending before the Court are Defendant-Movant's petition for writ of habeas corpus/civil rights complaint and United States Magistrate Judge Voss's Report and Recommendation ("R&R"). Dkt. # 17 (filed in CR-07-0270-PHX-EHC) and # 2. The R&R recommends that the Court deny the petition/complaint because Movant's ineffective assistance of counsel claims in grounds one through three are waived by the express waiver of a § 2255 motion in the plea agreement. Additionally, the court finds that the claims are without merit. Dkt. # 2 at 5. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had ten days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. Id. at 6 (citing [28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)]). The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v.

R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) ("The district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to."). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is welltaken. The Court will accept the R&R and deny the Petition/complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate"); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) ("The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.").
