UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TABA KARRON HERBERT,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 12-CV-788-LAB-WVG

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT

vs. AND RECOMMENDATION

MARTIN BITER, Warden,

Respondent.

Herbert filed a habeas petition on March 29, 2012 and an amended petition on August

30, 2012. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Civil Local Rules 72.1(c) and (d) the

petition was referred to Magistrate Judge Gallo for a Report and Recommendation

(“R&R”). Now pending before the Court is Respondent’s motion to dismiss the petition

because it is barred by the statute of limitations. Judge Gallo issued his R&R on

February 4, 2013 agreeing with respondent and giving Herbert until February 28, 2013

to file an objection. Herbert failed to file one, which is of substantial consequence for

him. See 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.”); United

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

“must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations de novo if

objection is made, but not otherwise”). The Court has also independently reviewed

Judge Gallo’s R&R and finds it be thorough and well reasoned. The Court therefore

ADOPTS the R&R in its entirety, and Biter’s motion to dismiss Herbert’s habeas

petition is GRANTED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: March 12, 2013
