ORDER
15
On December 24, 2014, Plaintiff Ricardo Ramirez, who is confined in the Arizona
16
State Prison Complex in Florence, Arizona, filed a pro se civil rights First Amended
17
Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. 20). The Honorable Bridget S. Bade,
18
United States Magistrate Judge, issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc.
19
30), recommending that the Court dismiss the Complaint due to Plaintiff’s failure to
20
return a service packet and thereby effect service through the United States Marshals
21
Service on the only defendant in this matter. Judge Bade advised Plaintiff that he had
22
fourteen (14) days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections
23
could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. See also 28
24
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,
25
1121 (9th Cir. 2003).
26
No timely objection has been filed, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
27
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
28
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
1
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
2
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
3
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-
4
taken. The Court will adopt the R&R and dismiss this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)
5
(stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the
6
findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The
7
district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further
8
evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”). Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED:
1. That Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 30) is accepted
and adopted by the Court;
12
2. That this action is dismissed without prejudice;
13
3. That the reference to Magistrate Judge Bridget S. Bade is withdrawn; and
14
4. That the Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
