WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Brian Thomas Eftenoff, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

Charles L. Ryan, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-14-01023-PHX-NVW (MHB)

ORDER 

 Before the court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge 

Michelle Burns (Doc. 35) regarding Petitioner’s Motion to Stay and Abey Habeas 

Proceedings (Doc. 25). The R&R recommends that the Motion be denied. Petitioner 

filed objections to that recommendation on March 24, 2015. (Doc. 36.) 

 The court has considered the objections and reviewed the R&R de novo. See Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b)(1) (stating that the court must make a de novo 

determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which specific 

objections are made). The court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s determinations, 

accepts the recommended decision within the meaning of Rule 72(b), and overrules 

Petitioner’s objections. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) (providing that the district court 

“may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations 

made by the magistrate”). 

 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the 

Magistrate Judge is accepted.
