Case No. 3:05cv2494.
May 2, 2007
OPINION AND ORDER
On October 21, 2005, petitioner Ronald Skaggs, Sr. (petitioner) filed a pro se Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Docket No. 1). The case was referred to Magistrate Judge Kenneth S. McHargh pursuant to Local Rule 72.2 (Docket No. 5). On April 9, 2007, the Magistrate Judge recommended that petitioner's application for habeas corpus relief be denied. (Docket No. 12).
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 72(b) provides that objections to a report and recommendation must be filed within ten (10) days after service, but petitioner has failed to timely file any such objections. Therefore, the Court must assume that petitioner is 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. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981).
Therefore, Magistrate Judge McHargh's report and recommendation is hereby ADOPTED and petitioner's Writ of Habeas Corpus (Docket No. 1) is DENIED.
Furthermore, 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).
