WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Willie James Mitchell, Jr.,

Petitioner,

v. 

Charles L Ryan, et al.,

Respondents.

No. CV-18-03153-PHX-ROS

ORDER 

On December 23, 2019, Magistrate Judge Michelle H. Burns issued a Report and 

Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending the amended petition for writ of habeas corpus 

be denied as untimely. (Doc. 16). Petitioner did not file objections. The absence of 

objections means this Court has no obligation to review the R&R. See Schmidt v. 

Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (holding “district courts are not 

required to conduct any review at all” of an R&R if no objections are made).

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16) is ADOPTED IN 

FULL. The petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 9) is DENIED and DISMISSED 

WITH PREJUDICE.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED a Certificate of Appealability and leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis on appeal are DENIED because the dismissal of the petition is justified 

by a plain procedural bar and jurists of reason would not find the procedural ruling 

debatable. 

Dated this 3rd day of February, 2020.

Honorable Roslyn O. Silver

Senior United States District Judge
