MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER RE: DISMISSING PETITIONER'S APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Ryan Hlavsa filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, alleging four grounds for relief which challenge the constitutional sufficiency of his conviction and sentence for rape, gross sexual imposition and endangering children.
On March 16, 2007, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Kenneth S. McHargh for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule 72.2(b)(2). See Order (Doc. 8). On June 26, 2007, the Magistrate Judge submitted a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 13) recommending that the petition be denied.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b) provides that objections to a report and recommendation must be filed within ten (10) days after service, but neither party has filed any such objections. Therefore, the Court must assume that the parties are satisfied with the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Any further review by this Court would be a duplicative and inefficient use of the Court's limited resources. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff'd, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Howard v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs., 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is hereby adopted. Ryan Hlavsa's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus will be dismissed.
The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an appeal from this decision could not be taken in good faith, and that there is no basis upon which to issue a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed.R.App.P. 22(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
