No. CR 11-355-PHX-JAT

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Movant's Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Doc. 1). The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and

Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 11) recommending that the Motion be denied. 

Neither party has filed objections to the R&R. Accordingly, the Court hereby accepts

the R&R. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (finding that district courts are not

required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection”

(emphasis added)); 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).

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 11)

is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Movant's Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct

Sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Doc. 1) is DENIED WITH PREJUDICE; and the

Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly.

IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing

Section 2255 Proceedings, in the event Movant files an appeal, a certificate of appealability

and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied because Movant has not made

a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.

DATED this 16th day of August, 2013.
