ORDER

Pending before the Court is Magistrate Judge Jay R. Irwin’s Report and

Recommendation, which was filed on January 11, 2010. (Doc. 16). Magistrate Judge Irwin

recommends the petition for writ of habeas corpus be denied in part and the remainder be

dismissed with prejudice. Judge Irwin also recommends a certificate of appealability be

denied. Petitioner has not filed any objections. 

A district judge “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or

recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 USC § 636(b). Where any party has

filed timely objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendations, the district

court’s review of the part objected to is to be de novo. Id.; see also United States v. ReynaTapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003); Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219,

1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (“Following Reyna-Tapia, this Court concludes that de novo review of

factual and legal issues is required if objections are made, but not otherwise.”) (internal
