ORDER
15
Petitioner Leon Robert Taylor has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
16
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The Honorable Eileen S. Willett, United States
17
Magistrate Judge, issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 9), recommending
18
that the Court dismiss the Petition. Judge Willett advised the parties that they had fourteen
19
(14) 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. (Doc. 9 at 6) (citing 28
21
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,
22
1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
23
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
24
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
25
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
26
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
27
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
28
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-taken.
1
The Court will adopt the R&R and deny the Petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating
2
that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
3
recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge
4
may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or
5
return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”). Accordingly,
6
IT IS ORDERED:

That Magistrate Judge Eileen S. Willett’s Report and Recommendation (Doc.

That the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(Doc. 1) is dismissed with prejudice;
3.
That a certificate of appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on
appeal are denied; and

That the Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
