CASE NO. 3:14-CV-1325
OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Doc. 1]
JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
Petitioner Timothy Newman seeks a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254.1/ On
October 28, 2015, Magistrate Judge Knepp recommended that this Court dismiss the petition.2/
Neither party objected to Magistrate Judge Knepp’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”).
The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of
those portions of a R&R to which a party has made an objection.3/ Parties must file any objections
to a R&R within fourteen days of service.4/ Failure to object within that time waives a party’s right
to have the Court review the R&R.5/ Absent objection, a district court may adopt the R&R without
review.6/
In this case, neither party has objected to the R&R. Moreover, having conducted its own
review of the record and the parties’ briefing in this case, this Court agrees with the conclusions of
1/
Doc. 1. Responded filed a return of writ. Doc. 5. Petitioner Replied. Doc. 7.
