ORDER

On February 11, 2013, Magistrate Judge Metcalf issued a Report and

Recommendation in which he recommended that this Court grant Petitioner’s motion for stay

and abeyance pending exhaustion of certain claims in state court. The time to file objections

has run and no objections have been filed. Accordingly, the Court will accept the Report and

Recommendations. 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).

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 47) is accepted; the

Motion for Stay and Abeyance (Doc. 32) is granted as specified below:

(1) Petitioner and Respondents shall, within fourteen days of the conclusion of the

state court proceedings, file with this Court a notice advising the Court of the status

of the state court proceedings;

(2) Petitioner shall, on or before March 31, 2013, and before the expiration of each

calendar quarter thereafter, until termination of the stay, file with this Court a notice

advising the Court of the status of his state court proceedings.

(3) Petitioner’s failure to timely file such notices will be grounds for dismissal of this

action without further notice.

DATED this 7th day of March, 2013.
