Respondents.

Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s (First) Amended Motion Under 28
16
U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody
17
and United States Magistrate Judge Eileen S. Willett’s Report and Recommendation
18
(“R&R”) filed in the above referenced caption. Docs. 7, 20. The R&R recommends that
19
the Court [grant the Motion to Strike and deny the First Amended Motion to Vacate
20
and dismiss with prejudice]. Doc. 20 at 9-10. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties
21
that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely
22
objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. Id. at
23
10 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 28 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia,
24
328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
25
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
26
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
27
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
28
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
1
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
2
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-
3
taken. The Court will accept the R&R[, grant the Motion to Strike and deny the First
4
Amended Motion to Vacate and dismiss with prejudice]. See 28 U.S.C. § 36(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.”).
