ORDER

Pending before the court is petitioner’s First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (doc. #56) and respondents' Answer (doc. #58),

incorporating by reference Exhibits A to O attached to their response (doc. #8) to the original

petition. No reply was filed. 

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

Judge Jay R. Irwin (doc. #60). The R&R recommends that the court deny petitioner's First

Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The parties did not file objections, which

relieves the court of its obligation to review any of the magistrate judge’s determinations in

the R&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (“[Section

636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an

objection.”). The court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well taken.

The court will accept the R&R and deny the First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus. 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 Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Jay R. Irwin (doc. #60) is accepted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner's First Amended Petition for Writ of

Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (doc. #56) is denied and dismissed without

prejudice. The clerk is directed to terminate this case.

DATED this 27th day of October, 2005.
