WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Harry McCabe, Sr.,

Petitioner,

v. 

United States of America,

Respondent.

No. CV-16-08131-PCT-JAT (ESW)

ORDER 

Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s motion to lift the stay in this case. (Doc. 

41). Magistrate Judge Willett issue a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) 

recommending that the motion to lift the stay be denied. (Doc. 42). Specifically, the R&R 

recommends that the stay be kept in place until three cases are decided: Walker v. United 

States, United States v. Orona and United States v. Begay. (Id. at 5). Neither party has 

filed objections to the R&R.

This Court “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). It is “clear that 

the district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations de 

novo if objection is made, but not otherwise.” United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 

1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (emphasis in original); Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 

F.Supp.2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (“Following Reyna-Tapia, this Court concludes that 

de novo review of factual and legal issues is required if objections are made, ‘but not 

otherwise.’”).

Because there are no objections, the Court will accept the R&R. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the R&R (Doc. 42) is accepted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motion to lift the stay (Doc. 41) is denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, within 14 days of each of the decisions in 

Walker v. United States, United States v. Orona and United States v. Begay, the parties 

shall file a joint status report. The third such status report must move to lift the stay. This 

order is without prejudice to either party moving to lift the stay, if appropriate, before all 

three of the foregoing cases are decided.

Dated this 25th day of March, 2020.
