IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

 

 Before the Court is a Motion for Stay of Habeas Corpus Proceedings (Doc. 11) 

filed by Petitioner Faleh Hassan Al-Maleki. In response, Respondent offers that it does 

not oppose Petitioner’s request to the extent he seeks a stay of this action pending the 

appeal of the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief in the state court. (Doc. 12 at 

6.) 

 The Honorable Bridget S. Bade, United States Magistrate Judge, issued a Report 

and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 13), recommending that this proceeding be stayed 

and held in abeyance pending exhaustion of Petitioner’s claims in state court. Judge Bade 

advised the parties that they had fourteen (14) days to file objections to the R&R and that 

failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review 

of the R&R. (Doc. 13 at 9-10) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72; United 

States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)). 

 The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to 

review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 

Faleh Hassan Al-Maleki, 

 

Petitioner, 

vs. 

Charles L. Ryan, 

Respondent.

(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is 

not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must 

determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly 

objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is welltaken. The Court will adopt the R&R and will grant the motion in manner recommended 

by Judge Bade. 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”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject, or modify 

the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the 

magistrate judge with instructions.”). Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED:

1. That Magistrate Judge Bade’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 13) is 

accepted and adopted by the Court; 

2. That the reference to the Magistrate Judge is withdrawn as to Petitioner’s 

Motion for Stay of Habeas Corpus Proceedings (Doc. 11) and the motion is granted; 

3. That this action is stayed pending further Order of this Court; 

4. That Petitioner must diligently pursue his state remedies; 

5. That Petitioner shall file a report no later than February 4, 2015 addressing 

the status of his proceedings in state court; 

6. That Petitioner must file a new report regarding the status of his state court 

proceedings every ninety (90) days after the filing of the initial status report; 

7. That Petitioner is warned that failure to comply with these instructions will 

result in the Court vacating the stay and may result in dismissal for failure to comply with 

Court orders, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); and
