ORDER
Pending before the Court are Petitioner Khalid El Sheriff's petition for writ of habeas corpus and United States Magistrate Judge David K. Duncan's Report and Recommendation ("R R"). Dkt. ##1, 19. The R R recommends that the Court dismiss the Petition as moot because Petitioner has been released from custody. Dkt. #19 at 1. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had ten days to file objections to the R R and that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R R. Id. at 1-2 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review the R R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) ("[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection."); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3) ("The district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to."). The Court will accept the R R and dismiss the Petition as moot. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate"); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3) ("The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.").
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Magistrate Judge David K. Duncan's R R (Dkt. #19) is accepted.
2. Petitioner Khalid El Sheriff's petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. #1) is dismissed as moot.
3. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
