IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Francisco Leon, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

Charles L. Ryan, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-14-01755-PHX-DLR

ORDER 

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge 

Eileen S. Willett, (Doc. 14), regarding Petitioner’s Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas 

Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, (Doc. 7). The R&R recommends that the 

petition be denied and dismissed with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge advised the 

parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. (Doc. 14 at 8 (citing 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72.)) Petitioner filed his “Objections to Report and 

Recommendation” on October 13, 2015. (Doc. 15.) 

The Court has considered the objections and reviewed the R&R 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 R&R 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), 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”).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the 

Magistrate Judge, (Doc. 14), is ACCEPTED. Having considered the issuance of a 

Certificate of Appealability from the order denying Petitioner’s Petition for a Writ of 

Habeas Corpus, a Certificate of Appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on 

appeal are DENIED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment 

denying and dismissing Petitioner’s Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, (Doc. 7), with prejudice, and shall terminate this action. 

 Dated this 5th day of November, 2015. 

Douglas L. Rayes 

United States District Judge
