Case Number 13-13253

MICHAEL ARNOLD, Petitioner, v. JEFFREY LARSON, Respondent.
Honorable David M. Lawson
Magistrate Judge Paul J. Komives
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
AND DENYING PETITIONER'S PETITION FOR HABEAS CORPUS
Presently before the Court is the report issued on May 21, 2014 by Magistrate Judge Paul J. Komives pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court deny the petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus. Although the report stated that the parties to this action could object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation [dkt. #11] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that the petitioner's petition for habeas corpus [dkt. #1] is DENIED.
