Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and
United States Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf’s Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”). Docs. 1, 20. The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss with prejudice
Ground Four and deny the remainder of the Petition. Doc. 20 at 27. The Magistrate
Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and
that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain
review of the R&R. Id. at 28 (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia,
328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-
1
taken. The Court will accept the R&R and dismiss with prejudice Ground Four and deny
2
the remainder of the Petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court
3
“may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations
4
made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject,
5
or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to
6
the magistrate judge with instructions.”).
