Marzet Farris, III,
Petitioner,

v.

Attorney General of the State of Arizona, et
al.,

No. CV-23-08002-PCT-JAT
ORDER

Respondents.

15

Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s third motion for extension of time to file

16

objections to the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). (Doc. 54). As the Court

17

discussed in the two prior Orders, Petitioner has already had considerable time to file

18

objections. Specifically, the R&R was filed on June 20, 2024. The second extension of

19

time gave Petitioner until November 20, 2024, to file objections, or five months from when

20

the R&R issued.

21

The Court recognizes that the R&R is long, which is why the Court found good

22

cause to grant the extensions Petitioner has received thus far. Now Petitioner seeks an

23

additional two weeks to file objections.

24

When this Court receives an R&R, it “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in

25

part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. §

26

636(b)(1). District courts are not required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue

27

that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (emphasis

28

added); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (“the court shall make a de novo determination of

1
2

those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which objection is made.”).
The Court will grant Petitioner one last extension.

However, the Court still

3

considers five months to be adequate time to file objections. Thus, the Court still finds

4

November 20, 2024, to be reasonable. Nonetheless, by the time Petitioner filed his third

5

request for an extension of time on November 18, 2024, and this Court had an opportunity

6

to review it and prepare an Order, the deadline passed. For this reason, the Court will grant

7

the extension.

8

Petitioner is cautioned, however, that this is the last extension. If his objections are

9

not file by December 4, 2024, the Court will deem Petitioner to have forfeited his

10

opportunity to file objections; and any untimely objections received after that deadline will

11

not be considered. Further, as the Court recounted above, the Court will not review any

12

portion of the R&R de novo if timely objections are not received.

13

Thus,

14

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for extension of time (Doc. 54) is

15

granted to the limited extent that Petitioner’s objections are due by December 4, 2024.

16

There will be no further extensions of this deadline.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the page limits established in Doc. 51 are
unchanged.
