12 Petitioner, ORDER 13 v. 14 JOSIE GASTELO, Warden, 15 Respondent. 16 HAYES, Judge: 17 The matters before the Court are the Motion to Dismiss filed by Respondent (ECF 18 No. 14) and the Report and Recommendation issued by the Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 19 17). The duties of the district court in connection with a report and recommendation of a 20 magistrate judge are set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) and

636(b). The district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the 22 report . . . to which objection is made” and “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in 23 part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

(b). 24 The district court need not review de novo those portions of a Report and Recommendation 25 to which neither party objects. See Wang v. Masaitis,

, 1000 n.13 (9th Cir. 26 2005); United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

(9th Cir. 2003) (“Neither the 27 Constitution nor the [Federal Magistrates Act] requires a district judge to review, de novo, 28 findings and recommendations that the parties themselves accept as correct.”). 1 The record reflects that no objections have been filed by either party. The Court has 2 reviewed the Report and Recommendation, the record, and the submissions of the parties. 3 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 17) is 4 || ADOPTED in its entirety. The Motion to Dismiss filed by Respondent (ECF No. 14) is 5 ||GRANTED. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED with 6 || prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. 7 || Dated: September 2, 2021 BME: Me Z. A a 8 Hon. William Q.
