10 Petitioner, ORDER

11 v.

12 State of Arizona, et al.,

13 Respondents. 14 15 Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s amended petition for writ of habeas corpus 16 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 4) and the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of 17 the United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. 19). The R&R, which was issued on September 18 23, 2021, recommended that the petition be denied and dismissed with prejudice and 19 further provided that “[t]he parties shall have fourteen days from the date of service of a 20 copy of this recommendation within which to file specific written objections with the 21 Court.” (Doc. 19 at 8.) 22 Here, no such objections have been filed. Thus, the Court accepts the Magistrate 23 Judge’s recommendation. See, e.g., Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-50 (1985) (“It does 24 not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate’s factual 25 or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to 26 those findings.”); Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (“[N]o 27 review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless objections are 28 filed.”). See also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) 1|| (“[T]he district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations 2|| de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise.”’). 3 Accordingly, 4 IT IS ORDERED that the R&R’s recommended disposition (Doc. 19) is accepted, 5 || that the amended petition (Doc. 4) is denied and dismissed with prejudice, and that the || Clerk of Court shall enter judgment accordingly. 7 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability and leave to 8 || proceed in forma pauperis on appeal be denied because the dismissal of the petition is 9|| justified by a plain procedural bar and jurists of reason would not find the procedural ruling 10 || debatable. 11 Dated this 18th day of October, 2021. 12 13 Lm ee” 14 f Dominic W.
