ORDER
15
The Court has before it, Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to
16
28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1), the Limited Answer from the Respondents, (Doc. 10) and a
17
Reply from the Petitioner. (Doc. 11) Additionally, the Report and Recommendation of the
18
Magistrate Judge (Doc. 14), and the Petitioner’s Objections, (Doc. 19) have also been
19
considered.
20
A district judge “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
21
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). When a party files a
22
timely objection to an R&R, the district judge reviews de novo those portions of the R&R
23
that have been “properly objected to.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). A proper objection requires
24
specific written objections to the findings and recommendations in the R&R. See United
25
States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1). It
26
follows that the Court need not conduct any review of portions to which no specific
27
objection has been made. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; see also Thomas v. Arn, 474
28
U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (discussing the inherent purpose of limited review is judicial
1
economy). Further, a party is not entitled as of right to de novo review of evidence or
2
arguments which are raised for the first time in an objection to the R&R, and the Court’s
3
decision to consider them is discretionary. United States v. Howell, 231 F.3d 615, 621-622
4
(9th Cir. 2000).
5
The Court has carefully undertaken an extensive review of the sufficiently
6
developed record. The Petitioner’s objections to the findings and recommendations have
7
also been thoroughly considered.
8
After conducting a de novo review of the issues and objections, the Court reaches
9
the same conclusions reached by the magistrate judge. The R&R will be adopted in full.
10
Accordingly,
11
IT IS ORDERED:
12
1.
13
That the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 14) is
accepted and adopted by the Court.
14
2.
That the Petitioner’s Objections (Doc. 19) are overruled.
15
3.
That the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) is denied, and this
16
action is dismissed with prejudice.
4.
17
That a Certificate of Appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis
18
on appeal are denied because the dismissal of the Petition is justified by a plain procedural
19
bar and reasonable jurists would not find the ruling debatable; and
5.
20
21
22
That the Clerk of Court shall enter judgment according and terminate this
action.
Dated this 15th day of April 2024.
