1 2 3 4 5 6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 8 9 Christy Viola Beltran, Petitioner, 10 11 ORDER v. 12 No. CV-15-08093-PCT-GMS No. CR-13-08067-PCT-GMS USA, 13 Respondent. 14 15 Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct 16 Sentence and United States Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle’s Report and 17 Recommendation (“R&R”). Docs. 1, 10. The R&R recommends that the Court deny the 18 Petition. Doc. 10 at 5. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen 19 days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could be 20 considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. Id. at 5 (citing Fed. R. Civ. 21 P. 6, 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)). 22 The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to 23 review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 24 (1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is 25 not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must 26 determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly 27 objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well- 28 taken. The Court will accept the R&R and deny the Petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) 1 (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the 2 findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The 3 district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further 4 evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”). 5 IT IS ORDERED: 6 1. Magistrate Judge Boyle’s R&R (Doc. 10) is accepted. 7 2. Petitioner’s Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence (Doc. 1) is 8 9 10 11 denied. 3. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action and enter judgment accordingly. 4. Pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Cases, in the 12 event Movant files an appeal, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability 13 because reasonable jurists would not find the Court’s procedural ruling debatable. See 14 Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). 15 Dated this 26th day of February, 2016. 16 17 18 Honorable G. Murray Snow United States District Judge 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 -2-
