Pursuant to Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the

Court must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is

made,” and “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations

made by the magistrate [judge].” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1); see also United States v. Remsing, 874

F.2d 614, 617 (9th Cir. 1989). When no objections are filed, as is the case here, a district court may

assume the correctness of the magistrate judge’s factual findings and decide the motion on the

applicable law. Johnson v. Nelson, 142 F.Supp.2d 1215, 1217 (S.D.Cal. 2001) (citing Campbell v.

United States District Court, 501 F.2d 196, 206 (9th Cir. 1989)). 

The Court concludes that the magistrate judge issued an accurate report and well-reasoned

recommendation that the instant petition be denied and dismissed as moot in light of the proceedings

recorded in Civil Case No. 08cv1007-H (CAB). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

THAT:

1. The Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED in its entirety.

2. Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED.

3. Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DENIED and DISMISSED AS

MOOT.

4. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this case and enter judgment in favor of

Respondent. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 23, 2010

Hon. Michael M. Anello

United States District Judge
