MINUTES OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Gordon B. Carter v. Charles L. Ryan, et al. 

THE HONORABLE JOHN W. SEDWICK 2:10-cv-02169 JWS

PROCEEDINGS: ORDER FROM CHAMBERS July 20, 2011

Gordon B. Carter (“petitioner”) moved for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was briefed. Thereafter, in a report at docket 13, Magistrate

Judge David K. Duncan recommended that the petition be denied and dismissed with

prejudice. Petitioner filed an objection at docket 14.

The district judge may “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings

or recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). When reviewing

a magistrate judge’s recommendations in a case such as this one, the district judge

conducts de novo review of all recommended conclusions of law, and any

recommended findings of fact to which objections have been taken. Recommended 

findings of fact as to which no objection has been taken are reviewed for clear error. 

Having applied those standards of review, this court finds that the recommended

findings of fact and conclusions of law are correct in all material respects. There is

nothing in the objection at docket 14 which calls into question the accuracy of the

recommendation. Accordingly, this court adopts the recommendations from the

magistrate judge found at docket 13. Based thereon, the petition is DENIED. The Clerk

will please enter judgment dismissing the petition with prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT this court will not grant the Certificate of

Appealability required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), because dismissal of the petition is

warranted by a plain procedural bar which jurists of reason would not find debatable. If

petitioner desires to take an appeal he must request a Certificate of Appealability from

the Court of Appeals. See Fed. R. App. P. 22(b)(1).
