IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Benjamin Mendoza,

Petitioner,

v. 

Louis Winn,

Respondent.

No. CV-14-02345-TUC-RM

ORDER

Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation issued by Magistrate 

Judge Eric J. Markovitch (Doc. 14). In his Report and Recommendation, Judge 

Markovitch recommends that this Court dismiss this action for, inter alia, failure to 

prosecute. No objections were filed.

A district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions” of a 

magistrate judge’s “report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which 

objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(C). The advisory committee notes to Rule 

72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure state that, “[w]hen no timely objection is 

filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record 

in order to accept the recommendation” of a magistrate judge. See also Prior v. Ryan, 

2012 WL 1344286, *1 (D. Ariz. Apr. 8, 2012) (reviewing for clear error unobjected-to 

portions of Report and Recommendation); Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 

739 (7th Cir. 1999) (“If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district judge 

reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.”).

Reviewing for clear error, this Court finds no such error in Judge Markovitch’s 

Report and Recommendation. Accordingly,

14) is accepted and adopted.

2. Petitioner’s Petition (Doc. 1) is denied and this action is dismissed.

Dated this 15th day of April, 2016.

Honorable Rosemary Márquez
