JOHN MYERS, Petitioner, v. MARK WILLIAMS, Warden, Respondent.
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO , J. :
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Knepp's Report and Recommendation (ECF DKT #11) to deny Petitioner John Myers' Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF DKT #1) as moot. Objections to the Report and Recommendation were due by July 5, 2019. Petitioner has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) provides that objections to a report and recommendation must be filed within fourteen days after service. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(2). 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 duplicative and an inefficient use of the Court's limited resources. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge and DENIES Petitioner's Petition as MOOT.
The Court finds an appeal from this decision could not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Since Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right directly related to his conviction or custody, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); FED. R. APP. P. 22(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
