Pending before the Court are Petitioner Kirk Lewis' motion to vacate, set aside or correct sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and United States Magistrate Judge Jay R. Irwin's Report and Recommendation ("R&R"). Dkt. ##1, 12. The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss the motion with prejudice. Dkt. #12 at 10. 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 11 (citing 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. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) ("[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection."); Fed. 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 will accept the R&R and dismiss the motion with prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

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."). IT IS ORDERED: 1. 2. Magistrate Judge Jay R. Irwin's R&R (Dkt. #12) is accepted. Petitioner Kirk Lewis' motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Dkt. #1) is dismissed with prejudice. 3. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
