ORDER

Petitioner Elimane Tall has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. #1. The petition asserts that Petitioner’s continued detention by

federal immigration authorities is unlawful. Id. at 3. On September 23, 2008, Respondent

filed a notice indicating that the petition is moot because Petitioner was deported to Dakar,

Senegal on July 10, 2008. Dkt. #20. On November 12, 2008, United States Magistrate Judge

Jacqueline Marshall issued a report and recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the

petition be dismissed as moot in light of Respondent’s notice. Dkt. #21. Petitioner has not

filed an objection to the R&R and the time for doing so has expired. See 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). The Court accordingly will accept the R&R and dismiss

the petition as moot. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(3) (“The district judge must determine de

novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly objected to.”); see

also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,

1121 (9th Cir. 2003).
