UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ROBERT BUTLER, Petitioner, -against- 9:13-CV-0375 (LEK/DEP) BRUCE YELICH, Respondent. ___________________________________ ORDER This matter comes before the Court following a Report-Recommendation filed on August 19, 2013, by the Honorable David E. Peebles, U.S. Magistrate Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Northern District of New York Local Rule 72.3(c). Dkt. No. 10 (“Report-Recommendation”). Within fourteen days after a party has been served with a copy of a magistrate judge’s reportrecommendation, the party “may serve and file specific, written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations.” FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); L.R. 72.1(c). “If no objections are filed . . . reviewing courts should review a report and recommendation for clear error.” Edwards v. Fischer, 414 F. Supp. 2d 342, 346-47 (S.D.N.Y. 2006); see also Cephas v. Nash, 328 F.3d 98, 107 (2d Cir. 2003) (“As a rule, a party’s failure to object to any purported error or omission in a magistrate judge’s report waives further judicial review of the point.”); Farid v. Bouey, 554 F. Supp. 2d 301, 306 (N.D.N.Y. 2008). No objections to the Report-Recommendation were filed in the allotted time period. After a thorough review of the Report-Recommendation and the record, the Court has determined that the Report-Recommendation is not subject to attack for clear error or manifest injustice. Accordingly, it is hereby: ORDERED, that the Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 10) is APPROVED and ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED, that Petitioner Robert Butler’s Petition (Dkt. No. 1) for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED and DISMISSED as moot; and it is further ORDERED, that no certificate of appealability shall issue in this case because Petitioner has failed to make a “substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2);1 and it is further ORDERED, that the Clerk of the Court serve a copy of this Order upon the parties to this action. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: November 27, 2013 Albany, New York 1 See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003) (“[Section] 2253(c) permits the issuance of a [certificate of appealability] only where a petitioner has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). 2
