opposition to the Petition at Docket 15 to which Petitioner replied at Docket 16. The Petition was referred to the Honorable Magistrate Judge Kyle F. Reardon. At Docket 19, Judge Reardon issued his Report and Recommendation, in which he recommended that the Petition be dismissed. No objections to the Report and Recommendation were filed. The matter is now before this Court pursuant to

statute provides that a district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”1 A court is to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the magistrate judge’s report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”2

However, § 636(b)(1) does not “require district court review of a magistrate’s factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings.”3 The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court dismiss the Petition for

Habeas Corpus Relief from Unlawful Confinement Pursuant to

is DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court shall enter a final judgment accordingly.
