Petitioner,

ORDER

Charles L. Ryan, et al.,

13

Respondents.

14

Pending before the Court are Petitioner Ruben Nevarez’s Petition for Writ of

15

Habeas Corpus and United States Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf’s Report and

16

Recommendation (“R&R”). (Docs. 1, 23.) The R&R recommends that the Court deny

17

the Petition. (Doc. 23 at 44.) The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had

18

fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could

19

be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. (Id. at 44 (citing Fed.

20

R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).

21

The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to

22

review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149

23

(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is

24

not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must

25

determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly

26

objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-

27

taken. The Court will accept the R&R and deny the Petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)

28

(stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the

1

findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The

2

district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further

3

evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”).

4

IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Metcalf’s R&R (Doc. 23) is accepted.

5

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas

6

Corpus (Doc. 1) is dismissed.

7

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
