ORDER

Petitioner Thomas Joseph Serna has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Doc. 1. United States Magistrate Judge Jay R. Irwin has issued a report

and recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the petition be dismissed without

prejudice and deny as moot Petitioner’s motion to stay. Doc. 21. No objection has been

filed, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review the R&R. See 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); United States

v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). The Court will accept the R&R,

dismiss the petition without prejudice, and deny as moot Petitioner’s motion to stay.

IT IS ORDERED:

1. The R&R (Doc. 21) is accepted.

2. The petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) is dismissed without

prejudice.

3. A certificate of appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal

are denied.
