Petitioner,

v.
12
ORDER
Charles L. Ryan, et al.,
13
Respondents.
14
15
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion to Stay Federal
16
Proceedings; Motion for Authorization to Represent Petitioner in Post-Conviction
17
Proceedings (Doc. 25) and the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by United
18
States Magistrate Judge Bridget S. Bade (Doc. 27). Petitioner is represented by counsel
19
in this case. Petitioner’s counsel asserts in the motion to stay that Respondents do not
20
oppose the motion.
21
Judge Bade has explained the procedural history and status of this habeas case in
22
the R&R and the Court need not repeat it here. After consideration of the matter, Judge
23
Bade recommends that Petitioner’s motion be granted.
24
Judge Bade advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections and
25
that the failure to file timely objections "may result in the acceptance of the Report and
26
Recommendation by the District Court without further review." (Doc. 27 at 3) (citing
27
United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc)). Although
28
the time for objections has not expired, the Court sees no need to wait for the deadline
1
before ruling given that the parties are in agreement on this issue.
2
The Court has reviewed the R&R and agrees with its findings and
3
recommendations. In light of the parties’ agreement that a stay is warranted here, and
4
Judge Bade’s well-reasoned recommendation to grant the request, the Court will accept
5
the R&R and grant the motion. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) (“A judge of the court may
6
accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by
7
the magistrate judge.”); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3) (same).
8
Accordingly,
9
IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Bade's R&R (Doc. 27) is accepted and
10
adopted as the order of this Court.
11
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Petitioner’s Motion to Stay Federal
12
Proceedings; Motion for Authorization to Represent Petitioner in Post-Conviction
13
Proceedings (Doc. 25) is GRANTED.
14
15
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is STAYED under the terms set
forth in the R&R (Doc. 27 at 2-3).
16
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that, while the stay is in place, Petitioner’s CJA
17
counsel, Sarah Stone, is authorized to represent Petitioner in a petition for writ of
18
certiorari and state post-conviction proceedings resulting therefrom.
19
Dated this 1st day of April, 2016.
