IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Thomas Christopher Adolf,

Petitioner, 

v. 

Unknown O'Neil, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-15-01030-PHX-DLR

ORDER 

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge 

Eileen S. Willett, (Doc. 19), regarding Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 

filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, (Doc. 1). The R&R recommends that the petition be 

denied and dismissed with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they 

had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. (Doc. 19 at 21 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72).) Petitioner filed his “Objection to the Magistrate 

Judge’s Report and Recommendation” on May 9, 2016. (Doc. 21.) 

The Court has considered the objections and reviewed the R&R de novo. See Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the court must make a de novo 

determination of those portions of the R&R to which specific objections are made). The 

Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s determinations, accepts the recommended 

decision within the meaning of Rule 72(b), and overrules Petitioner’s objections. 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 ORDERED that the R&R of the Magistrate Judge, (Doc. 19), is 

ACCEPTED. Having considered the issuance of a Certificate of Appealability from the 

order denying Petitioner’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, a Certificate of 

Appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal are DENIED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment 

denying and dismissing Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254, (Doc. 1), with prejudice, and shall terminate this action. 

Dated this 20th day of May, 2016. 

Douglas L. Rayes 

United States District Judge
