ORDER

Pending before the Court are Petitioner Khalid El Sheriff’s petition for writ of habeas

corpus and United States Magistrate Judge David K. Duncan’s Report and Recommendation

(“R&R”). Dkt. ##1, 19. The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss the Petition as moot

because Petitioner has been released from custody. Dkt. #19 at 1. 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 1-2 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 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 dismiss the Petition as moot. 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 David K. Duncan’s R&R (Dkt. #19) is accepted.

2. Petitioner Khalid El Sheriff’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. #1) is

dismissed as moot.

3. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.

DATED this 22nd day of May, 2009.
