Mariazza-Chavez v. Doll ( 2020 )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA PABLO CESAR MARIAZZA-CHAVEZ, No. 4:20-CV-01651 Petitioner, (Judge Brann) v. (Magistrate Judge Arbuckle) WARDEN CLAIR DOLL, Respondent. ORDER DECEMBER 29, 2020 Plaintiff filed the instant action on September 11, 2020, and it was jointly assigned to the undersigned and to a magistrate judge. Upon designation, a magistrate judge may “conduct hearings, including evidentiary hearings, and . . . submit to a judge of the court proposed findings of fact and recommendations.”1 Once filed, this report and recommendation is disseminated to the parties in the case who then have the opportunity to file written objections.2 On December 1, 2020 Magistrate Judge William I. Arbuckle, to whom this matter is jointly assigned, issued a thorough report and recommendation recommending that: (1) the petition be denied and dismissed without prejudice; (2) a certificate of appealability not be issued; and (3) the case be closed. No objections to the report and recommendation have been filed. For portions of the report and recommendation to which no objection is made, the Court should, as 1 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(B). a matter of good practice, “satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.”3 Regardless of whether timely objections are made by a party, the District Court may accept, not accept, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.4 Because I write solely for the parties, I will not restate the facts, but will instead adopt the recitation of facts as set forth by the magistrate judge. I have conducted a de novo review here and found no error. AND NOW, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Magistrate Judge Arbuckle’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 10) is ADOPTED in full. 2. The Petition is DENIED and DISMISSED without prejudice. 3. A certificate of appealability shall not issue. 4. The Clerk is directed to CLOSE the case file. BY THE COURT: s/ Matthew W.
