This matter is before the Court on pro se Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas
17
Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1) and the Report and Recommendation
18
(“R&R”) (Doc. 14) of United States Magistrate Judge Deborah M. Fine, filed on
19
September 7, 2016. Petitioner’s only ground for relief was “that the Bureau of Prisons
20
failed to credit his sentence with the correct amount of ‘Jail Credit.’” (Doc. 14 at 1:20-
21
21). After a thorough and sound analysis, Judge Fine concluded that “the Bureau of
22
Prisons ha[d] calculated Petitioner’s sentence correctly.” (Id. at 6:24). Judge Fine thus
23
recommends denial of the Petition and dismissal.
24
In so recommending, Judge Fine explicitly advised the parties that they had
25
“fourteen days from the date of service of a copy of” the R&R “within which to file
26
specific written objections with the Court.” (Doc. 14 at 7:7-8) (citations omitted). Judge
27
Fine further explicitly advised that “[f]ailure to file timely objections to the” R&R “may
28
result in the acceptance of the [R&R] by the District Court without further review.” (Id.
1
at 7:10-13) (citation omitted). Judge Fine was equally explicit that “[f]ailure to file timely
2
objections to any factual determinations of the Magistrate Judge will be considered a
3
waiver of a party’s right to appellate review of the findings of fact in an order or
4
judgment entered pursuant to the” R&R. (Id. at 7:14-16) (citation omitted).
5
In accordance with the foregoing, the parties had until September 26, 2016 by
6
which to timely file objections to the R&R. The parties did not do so. Absent any timely
7
objections, the Court is not required to review the findings and recommendations in the
8
R&R. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1989) (The relevant provision of the
9
Federal Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), “does not on its face require any
10
review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.”); see also Wang v.
11
Masaitis, 416 F.3d 992, 1000 n. 13 (9th Cir. 2005) (“Of course, de novo review of a R &
12
R is only required when an objection is made to the R & R, United States v. Reyna–
13
Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (“Neither the Constitution nor the
14
[Federal Magistrates Act] requires a district judge to review, de novo, findings and
15
recommendations that the parties themselves accept as correct”)[.]”). Nonetheless, the
16
Court has reviewed the R&R and agrees with its findings and recommendations. The
17
Court will, therefore, accept the R&R, deny the Petition and dismiss this matter. See 28
18
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) (“A judge of the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in
19
part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”); Fed.R.Civ.P.
20
72(b)(3) (same).
21
Accordingly,
22
IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Fine’s R&R (Doc. 14) is ACCEPTED
23
24
25
and ADOPTED as an Order of this Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED DENYING and DISMISSING the Petition for
Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1).
26
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a Certificate of Appealability and leave to
27
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal are DENIED because dismissal Petitioner has not
28
made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
