The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Edward C. Voss for a Report and Recommendation (Doc. #2). On December 4, 2008, the Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation with this Court (Doc. #17). To date, no objections have been filed. STANDARD OF REVIEW The Court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have ten days from the service of a copy of the Magistrate's recommendation within which to file specific written objections to the Court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72. Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge's recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge's factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on appeal. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a Magistrate Judge's conclusion "is Martico Muldrow, Petitioner, vs. Dora Schriro, et al., Respondents.
