ORDER

Pending before the court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate

Judge Morton Sitver (doc. #28) regarding Petitioner's Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (doc. #4). The R&R recommends that the

Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be denied and dismissed with prejudice

because Petitioner's claims are exhausted but procedurally defaulted. In the R&R the

magistrate judge advised the parties that they had ten days to file objections to the R&R. That

time has passed and no objections have been filed. 

The parties did not file objections, which relieves the court of its obligation to review

any of the magistrate judge’s determinations in the R&R. See 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);

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.”). The court has

nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well taken because the Petitioner's claims

are exhausted but procedurally defaulted. The court will accept the R&R and deny and

dismiss with prejudice Petitioner's Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Sitver (doc. #28) is accepted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner's Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus (doc. #4) is denied and dismissed with prejudice because Petitioner's claims are

exhausted but procedurally defaulted. The clerk shall terminate this case.

DATED this 19th day of January 2006.
