MARTIN GABRIEL ANDRADE, Petitioner, v. RAYBON JOHNSON, Respondent.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE;
[Doc. No. 11]
DENYING RESPONDENT'S MOTION TO DISMISS
[Doc. No. 7]
Petitioner Martin Gabriel Andrade ("Petitioner"), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus (the "Petition") pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. See Doc. No. 1. Nearly three months later, Respondent Raybon Johnson ("Respondent") filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the Petition is untimely. See Doc. No. 7. Petitioner did not respond to the motion. The matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Ruth Bermudez for preparation of a Report and Recommendation pursuant to Title 28, § 636(b)(1) and Civil Local Rule HC.2. Judge Bermudez has issued a thorough and well-reasoned Report recommending that the motion be denied. See Doc. No. 11.
Pursuant to Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court must "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made," and "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate [judge]." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also United States v. Remsing, 874 F.2d 614, 617 (9th Cir. 1989). Objections to the Report and Recommendation were due no later than March 18, 2021. See Doc. No. 11 at 13. To date, no objections have been filed, and the time for doing so has expired. See Docket.
The Court finds that Judge Bermudez has issued an accurate Report and well-reasoned recommendation that the motion be denied. The Court therefore ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation in its entirety and DENIES Respondent's motion to dismiss.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: March 26, 2021
