JUDGE JOHN R. ADAMS
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER
On March 23, 2018, the Magistrate Judge in this matter submitted an interim report and
recommendation (Doc. 8) recommending that the Court grant Petitioner’s motion for stay and
abeyance.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and recommendation
within fourteen (14) days after service. No objections have been filed in this matter. Any further
review by this Court would be a duplicative and inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources.
Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984); Howard v. Sec’y of Health and Human Servs., 932
F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Accordingly, the interim report and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is hereby
ADOPTED. Petitioner’s motion for stay and abeyance (Doc. 3) is GRANTED. The matter is
hereby stayed and held in abeyance. The stay is conditioned on Petitioner filing a motion to
reinstate or dismiss his petition in this Court within thirty (30) days after his state court remedies
on his three unexhausted claims, including any appeals, have been exhausted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 10, 2018
