ORDER

v.

No. CV-18-01252-PHX-RM (LAB)

Charles L Ryan, et al.,

13

Respondents.

15

On January 29, 2019, Magistrate Judge Leslie A. Bowman issued a Report and

16

Recommendation (Doc. 21), recommending that this Court deny Petitioner Jeffrey Wayne

17

Harmon’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. No objections to

18

the Report and Recommendation were filed.

19

A district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions” of a

20

magistrate judge’s “report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which

21

objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The advisory committee’s notes to Rule 72(b)

22

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure state that, “[w]hen no timely objection is filed, the

23

court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to

24

accept the recommendation” of a magistrate judge. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory

25

committee’s note to 1983 addition. See also Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734,

26

739 (7th Cir. 1999) (“If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court

27

judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.”); Prior v. Ryan, CV 10-225-TUC-

28

RCC, 2012 WL 1344286, at *1 (D. Ariz. Apr. 18, 2012) (reviewing for clear error

2

unobjected-to portions of Report and Recommendation).
The Court has reviewed Judge Bowman’s Report and Recommendation, the parties’

3

briefs, and the record.

4

Recommendation. Accordingly,

5
6

The Court finds no error in Judge Bowman’s Report and

IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 21) is accepted and
adopted in full.

7

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28

8

U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1) is denied. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment

9

accordingly and close this case.

10

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing

11

Section 2254 Cases, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability, because

12

reasonable jurists would not find the Court’s ruling debatable. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529

13

U.S. 473, 478, 484 (2000).
