Schriro, et al., 12 Respondents. 13 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No.CIV 06-0885-PHX-SMM (HCE) MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER 14 Pending before the Court is Petitioner s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant 15 to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. #1). The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Hector C. 16 Estrada for a Report and Recommendation (Doc. #3). On December 31, 2008, the Magistrate 17 Judge filed a Report and Recommendation with this Court (Doc. #34). To date, no 18 objections have been filed. 19 STANDARD OF REVIEW 20 The Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or 21 recommendations made by the magistrate. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. Sullivan, 22 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have ten days from the service of a copy of the 23 Magistrate s recommendation within which to file specific written objections to the Court. 24 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72. Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge s 25 recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge s 26 factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on appeal. See Turner v. Duncan, 27 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a Magistrate Judge s conclusion is 28 1 a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal. 2 Id. DISCUSSION 3 4 Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and no 5 Objections having been made by any party thereto, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts 6 the Magistrate Judge s Report and Recommendation. 7 CONCLUSION 8 For the reasons set forth, 9 IT IS ORDERED that the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation of the 10 Magistrate Judge (Doc. #34). 11 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 12 is DENIED and DISMISSED, terminating this case. The Clerk of the Court shall enter 13 judgment accordingly. 14 DATED this 29th day of January, 2009. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 -2-
