The Court finds discussion of the objections to be unnecessary on 19 this record. “The Magistrates Act ‘merely requires the district judge to make a 20 de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed 21 findings or recommendation to which objection is made.’” It does not require a 22 written explanation of the reasons for rejecting objections. See MacKenzie v. 23 Calif. AG,

, *1 (C.D. Cal. Sept. 21, 2016) (citation omitted). 24 “This is particularly true where, as here, the objections are plainly unavailing.” 25 Smith v. Calif. Jud. Council,

, *2 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 17, 2016). 26 Accordingly, the Court will accept the Magistrate Judge’s factual findings and 27 legal conclusions and implement the R&R’s recommendations. 28 1 I ORDER 2 Petitioner’s objection [Doc # 11] is OVERRULED. 3 The Report and Recommendation [Doc # 10] is ADOPTED. 4 The petition for a writ of habeas corpus [Doc # 1] is DENIED. 5 This action is DISMISSED with prejudice. 6 Final judgment consistent with this order will be entered separately as 7 | required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a). See Jayne v. Sherman,

, 1009 8 | (9th Cir. 2013). 9 The Court will rule on a certificate of appealability by separate order. 10 The case SHALL BE TERMINATED and closed (JS-6). p.s BE tl Cs IT IS SO ORDERED.
