Opinion
19 Civ. 3752 (ER) (SDA)
07-13-2020
ORDER :
On April 26, 2019, Jonathan Suero, pro se, brought a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Doc. 2. On September 10, 2019, the State of New York opposed. Doc. 13. On June 19, 2020, Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that Suero's motion be denied in its entirety. Doc. 26. The R&R notified the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections and that failure to do so "will result in a waiver of objections and will preclude appellate review." Id. at 30. Over fourteen days have passed since the R&R was issued and no objections have been filed.
I. Standard
A district court reviewing a magistrate judge's report and recommendation "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)(C). Parties may raise specific written objections to the report and recommendation "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy." Id.; see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). "3 days are added" to that period when "service is made under Rule 5(b)(2)(C) (mail), (D) (leaving with the clerk), or (F) (other means consented to)." Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a), (d). A district court reviews de novo those portions of the report and recommendation to which timely and specific objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district court may adopt those parts of the report and recommendation to which no party has timely objected, provided no clear error is apparent from the face of the record. Lewis v. Zon, 573 F. Supp. 2d 804, 811 (S.D.N.Y. 2008).
II. Discussion
The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Aaron's R&R and finds no clear error. Therefore, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Aaron's recommendations in their entirety. Suero's petition is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the case.
It is SO ORDERED. Dated: July 13, 2020
