17 The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) on June 18 17, 2019. See CM/ECF Document (“Doc”) 21. Petitioner has not objected within the 19 time allotted by Local Rule 72-3.4, and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) requires de novo 20 review only of those parts of an R&R to which a party has timely objected. See Khan 21 v. Langford,

, *1 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 8, 2018) (citing, inter alia, US 22 v. Reyna-Tapia,

(9th Cir. 2003) (en banc)). But the Advisory 23 Committee Notes to Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) recommend that when no timely objection 24 is filed, the Court should review the R&R “for clear error on the face of the record.” 25 Juarez,

at *2 (cite omitted); accord Douglass v. United Servs. 26 Auto Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc); Benitez v. Parmer,

28 -1- 1 || App’x 502, 503 (2d Cir. 2016) (“Because Benitez thus made only a general objection, 2 || the district court reviewed the 2013 R&R for clear error.”) (citing, inter alia, Adv. 3 | Comm. Notes to 1983 Am. of Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)). The Court finds no clear defect 4 || of law, fact, or logic in the R&R. 5 Accordingly, the Court will accept the Magistrate Judge’s findings and 6 || conclusions and implement the R&R’s recommendations. 8 ORDER 9 The Report and Recommendation [Doc # 21] is ADOPTED. 10 The petition for writ of habeas corpus [Doc # 1] is DENIED. 11 This action is DISMISSED with prejudice. 12 As required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a), judgment will be entered as a separate 13 || document. 14 The Court will also rule on a certificate of appealability by separate order. 15 The case SHALL BE TERMINATED and closed (JS-6). 16 IT IS SO ORDERED. 1 ‘ .
