WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Robert T. Graves, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

Julie Roberts, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-16-01304-PHX-JAT

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 12) from 

Magistrate Judge Duncan, recommending that this Court grant the Respondents’ Motion 

to Dismiss (Doc. 11) the Petition in this case, without prejudice. Judge Duncan 

previously invited Petitioner to respond to the Motion to Dismiss, but Petitioner did not 

respond. Thus, Judge Duncan concluded and recommended that this Court find that 

Petitioner consented to the dismissal of his habeas petition, without prejudice, because he 

still has on-going state court proceedings. Neither party filed objections to the Report 

and Recommendation. 

 Based on the foregoing,1

IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 12) is accepted and 

adopted. 

 

1 See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) 

(“statute makes it clear that the district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise” (emphasis in original)); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F.Supp.2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003).

prejudice.

reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation. 

 Dated this 19th day of October, 2016.
