Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of
15
Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle (Doc. 15) regarding petitioner’s Petition for Writ of
16
Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The R&R recommends that
17
the Petition be denied and dismissed with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge advised the
18
parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. (R&R at 16 (citing 28
19
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a), 6(b) and 72. Petitioner filed objections on
20
January 26, 2017 (Doc. 16).
21
The Court has considered the objections and reviewed the Report and
22
Recommendation de novo. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that
23
the court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and
24
Recommendation to which specific objections are made). The Court agrees with the
25
Magistrate Judge’s determinations, accepts the recommended decision within the
26
27
28
meaning of Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., and overrules Petitioner’s objections. See 28

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Report and Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge (Doc. 15) is accepted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court enter judgment denying
and dismissing Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1) with prejudice. The Clerk shall terminate this action.

shown that “jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid
claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it
debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v.
