ORDER

On April 8, 2010, Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus By a Person

in State Custody under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The matter was referred to Magistrate

Judge Lawrence O. Anderson who filed a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16) on

November 24, 2010 recommending that the Petition be denied.

 The district court reviews de novo the portions of the Magistrate Judge's Report and

Recommendation to which there is a filed objection. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C)("a judge of

the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report, ..., to which

objection is made."); see also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir.

2003). The district court is not required to review any issue that is not the subject of an

objection. Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219 (D. Ariz. 2003), citing Thomas v.

Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
