WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Alfredo Camargo, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

Charles L. Ryan, et al., 

Respondents.

No. CV-13-02488-PHX-NVW

ORDER 

 Before the court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge 

James Metcalf (Doc. 38) regarding petitioner’s First Amended Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 6). The R&R recommends that 

a certificate of appealability be issued. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they 

had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. Respondents filed objections on April 

28, 2015. (Doc. 39.) 

 The court has considered the objections and reviewed the R&R de novo. See Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the court must make a de novo 

determination of those portions of the R&R to which specific objections are made). The 

court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s determinations, accepts the recommended 

decision within the meaning of Rule 72(b), and overrules Respondents’ objections. 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”).

 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the 

Magistrate Judge (Doc. 38) is accepted. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court’s March 9, 2015 order (Doc. 26) 

temporarily vacating its March 4, 2015 order (Doc. 23) and the Clerk’s Judgment (Doc. 

24) is vacated. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court’s March 4, 2015 order (Doc. 23) 

adopting the Magistrate Judge’s initial Report and Recommendation (Doc. 19) is 

reinstated. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk enter judgment denying and 

dismissing Petitioner’s First Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 6). 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is granted on the 

following questions: (1) whether Petitioner’s federal habeas petition should be considered 

timely under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d), (2) whether Petitioner’s Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth 

Amendment rights were violated by the “constructive denial of the right to counsel,” and 

(3) whether Petitioner’s Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated by 

his PCR counsel’s failure to raise the trial court’s constructive denial of Petitioner’s right 

to effective assistance of counsel. The certificate of appealability shall not certify any 

other questions. 

 Dated this 4th day of May, 2015.
