CASE NO. 1:13-CV-02299

MICHAEL C. KIMBROUGH, Petitioner, v. KIMBERLY CLIPPER, Warden, Respondent.
OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Docs. 1, 8]
:
On July 7, 2014, Magistrate Judge Nancy A. Vecchiarelli recommended that the Court dismiss the petition of Michael C. Kimbrough for a writ a habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Kimbrough has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation.
Doc. 8.
The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of a Report and Recommendation to which the parties have made an objection. Parties must file any objections to a Report and Recommendation within fourteen days of service. Failure to object within that time waives a party's right to appeal the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Absent objection, a district court may adopt the Magistrate Judge's report without review. Moreover, having conducted its own review of the petition and record the Court agrees with the conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.
