ORDER

Pending before the Court are Petitioner Joselito Balicudiong-Asican’s petition for writ

of habeas corpus and United States Magistrate Judge Michelle H. Burns’ Report and

Recommendation (“R&R”). Dkt. ##1, 13. The R&R recommends that the Court deny and

dismiss with prejudice Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. Dkt. #13 at 6. The

Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had ten 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 6 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a), 6(e); 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 will accept the R&R and [deny/grant/dismiss] the Petition/complaint. 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.”).

1. Magistrate Judge Michelle H. Burns’ R&R (Dkt. #13) is accepted.

(Dkt. #1) is denied and dismissed with prejudice.
