IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Arturo Arevalo, 

Petitioner, 

vs. 

Charles L. Ryan, 

Respondent.

No. CV-12-01178-PHX-NVW

ORDER 

AND 

DENIAL OF CERTIFICATE OF 

APPEALABILITY AND IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS STATUS 

Pending before the court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of 

Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf (Doc. 18) regarding petitioner’s Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The R&R recommends that 

the Petition be dismissed with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that 

they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. (R&R at P. 16 ln. 6 (citing 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)). The Court then extended the deadline for filing objections to April 12, 

2013 (Doc. 20). Petitioner filed objections on April 11, 2012 (Doc. 21). 

The court has considered the objections and reviewed the Report and 

Recommendation de novo. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that 

the court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and 

Recommendation to which specific objections are made). The court agrees with the 

Magistrate Judge’s determinations, accepts the recommended decision within the 

meaning of Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., and overrules Petitioner’s objections. 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”).
