IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Oscar Bolanos-Nunez, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

USA, 

Respondent.

No. CV-13-01088-PHX-GMS

No. CR-12-00199-PHX-GMS 

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s Amended Motion to Vacate, Set Aside 

or Correct Sentence, Motion to Dismiss and United States Magistrate Judge Eileen S. 

Willett’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). Docs. 9, 29, 30. The R&R 

recommends that the Court grant the Motion to Dismiss and dismiss the Amended 

Motion to Vacate with prejudice. Doc. 30 at 3. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties 

that they had fourteen 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. Id. at 3 

(citing 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 

(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 accept the R&R and grant the Motion to Dismiss and dismiss the 

Motion to Vacate with prejudice. 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.”). 

IT IS ORDERED:

 1. Magistrate Judge Willett’s R&R (Doc. 30) is accepted. 

 2. Petitioner’s Amended Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence 

(Doc. 9) is dismissed with prejudice. 

 3. Petitioner’s Motion to Vacate Hearing and Dismiss (Doc. 29) is granted. 

 4. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action and the Motion to Vacate 

(Doc. 24) in CR-12-00199-PHX-GMS and enter judgment accordingly. 

 5. Pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Cases, in the 

event Petitioner files an appeal, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability 

because reasonable jurists would not find the Court’s procedural ruling debatable. See 

Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). 

 Dated this 23rd day of June, 2015. 

Honorable G. Murray Snow

United States District Judge
