No. CV-08-562-PHX-GMS No. CV-09-1252-PHX-GMS (Consolidated) ORDER
Pending before the Court are Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and United States Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Marshall's Report and Recommendation ("R&R") in case No. 09-1252-PHX-GMS. (Doc. 1, 36). The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss the Petition. (Doc. 36 at 16). The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen 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 16-17 (citing United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc)). Despite being advised of his ability to file objections to the R&R, Petitioner did not file an objection, but instead filed a Notice of Appeal (Doc. 38). Even should this Court consider the Notice of Appeal as an objection, it contains no objections to the R&R. Because Petitioner did not raise any objections to the R&R, the Court is relieved 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 has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-taken. The Court will accept the R&R and dismiss the Petition. 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."). IT IS ORDERED: 1. 2. Magistrate Judge Marshall's R&R (Doc. 36) is ACCEPTED. Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) filed in Case No. CV-
