VINCENT SCOTT RICHARDS, Petitioner, v. DEBRA SCUTT, Respondent.
Hon. Marianne O. Battani
Magistrate Judge Paul J. Komives
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND
DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
In January 2010, Petitioner Vincent Scott Richards filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court referred this matter to Magistrate Judge Paul J. Komives pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) for a report and recommendation ("R&R"). On January 3, 2012, he issued his R&R. The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court deny Petitioner's application for the writ of habeas corpus and deny a certificate of appealability. R&R at 1. The Magistrate Judge informed the parties that objections to the R&R must be filed within fourteen days of service and that a party's failure to file objections would waive any further right of appeal. See R&R at 21; 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Mich. LR 72.1(d)(2).
Because no objection has been filed in this case, the parties waived their right to review and appeal. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation, DENIES the petition for writ of habeas corpus and DENIES a certificate of appealability.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
