Respondent. 	)
This matter came before the Court on Petitioner’s Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (the “Petition”) (Doc. 1). This Court referred the matter to the
Magistrate Judge. 	The 	Magistrate Judge submitted 	a report 	and 	recommendation,
recommending that the Court dismiss the Petition. Doc. 12.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and
recommendation within 14 days after service. Petitioner did not file an objection to the
Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation. Any further review by this Court would
be a duplicative and inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources. Thomas v. Arn, 728
F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984); Howard v. Sec’y of Health and Human Servs., 932 F.2d 505 (6th
Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Accordingly, the report and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is hereby
adopted. The Petition is DISMISSED.
