Pursuant to Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court must "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made," and "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate [judge]." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1); see also United States v. Remsing, 874 F.2d 614, 617 (9th Cir. 1989). When no objections are filed, as is the case here, a district court may assume the correctness of the magistrate judge's factual findings and decide the motion on the applicable law. Johnson v. Nelson, 142 F.Supp.2d 1215, 1217 (S.D.Cal. 2001) (citing Campbell v. United States District Court, 501 F.2d 196, 206 (9th Cir. 1989)). The Court concludes that the magistrate judge issued an accurate report and well-reasoned recommendation that the instant petition be denied and dismissed as moot in light of the proceedings recorded in Civil Case No. 08cv1007-H (CAB). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. 2. 3. The Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED in its entirety. Respondent's Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED. Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DENIED and DISMISSED AS MOOT. 4. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this case and enter judgment in favor of Respondent. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: November 23, 2010 Hon. Michael M. Anello United States District Judge
