IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Lorenzo Sanchez Nino, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

Loretta E. Lynch, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-15-01323-PHX-DLR

ORDER 

 Before the Court are Petitioner Lorenzo Sanchez Nino’s Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus and United States Magistrate Judge Michelle H. Burns’ Report and 

Recommendation (“R&R”). (Docs. 1, 12.) The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss 

the Petition as moot because Petitioner is no longer in custody and has not responded to 

court orders or otherwise prosecuted this matter. (Doc. 12 at 2.) The Magistrate Judge 

advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and that 

failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review 

of the R&R. (Id. at 2-3 (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 

1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)). Petitioner did not file objections, which relieves the Court 

of its obligation to review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 

474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . 

of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The 

district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that

has been properly objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds 

that it is well-taken. The Court will accept the R&R and dismiss the Petition as moot. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in 

whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. 

P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended 

disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with 

instructions.”). 

IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Burns’ R&R, (Doc. 12), is ACCEPTED. 

Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, (Doc. 1), is DISMISSED as moot and 

without prejudice. The Clerk of the Court shall terminate this case. 

 Dated this 5th day of April, 2016.
