ORDER

Pending before the Court is Magistrate Judge Edward C. Voss’ Report and

Recommendation, which was filed on July 28, 2010. (Doc. 15). Magistrate Judge Voss

recommends the petition for writ of habeas corpus be denied and dismissed with prejudice,

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

quotations and citations omitted).

No objections being made, the Court will adopt the Report and Recommendation in

full. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254, R. 11, the Court must “issue or deny a certificate of

appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant.” A certificate of

appealability will be denied because the applicant passed away and his requested relief is

therefore moot.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 15) is ADOPTED and

the Petition (Doc. 1) shall be DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

FURTHER ORDERED a certificate of appealability IS DENIED.

DATED this 8th day of September, 2010.
