No. CV-15-00592-PHX-GMS
Charles L. Ryan, et al.,
13
Respondents.
14
15
Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and
16
United States Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf’s Report and Recommendation
17
(“R&R”). Docs. 1, 31. The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss the Petition
18
without prejudice. Doc. 31 at 18. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had
19
fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could
20
be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. Id. at 18 (citing Fed. R.
21
Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
22
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
23
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
24
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
25
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
26
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
27
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-
28
taken. The Court will accept the R&R and dismiss the Complaint without prejudice. See
1
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in
2
whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ.
3
P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended
4
disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with
5
instructions.”).

IT IS ORDERED:

1.
Magistrate Judge Metcalf’s R&R (Doc. 31) is accepted.

2.
Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) is dismissed

without prejudice.
10
3.
The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
11
4.
Pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, in the
12
event Petitioner files an appeal, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability
13
because reasonable jurists would not find the Court’s procedural ruling debatable. See
