IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
Jeffery B. Brown,
Petitioner,
v.
Jason Gunther,
Respondent.
No. CV-25-00133-PHX-ROS
ORDER
Before the Court is Petitioner Jeffery B. Brown’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
by a Person in Federal Custody under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and the Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 14) issued by United States Magistrate Judge Michael
T. Morrissey on September 29, 2025. Neither Petitioner nor Respondent filed objections to
the R&R.
Although the Court is not required to review the findings and recommendations of
the Magistrate Judge absent objections, see Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1989) (“the
statute does not on its face require any review…of any issue that is not the subject of an
objection”), the Court has reviewed Judge Morrissey’s R&R and agrees with its findings
and recommendations. The Court will, therefore, accept the R&R and dismiss the Petition.
See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (“A judge of the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole
or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”); Fed.R.Civ.P.
72(b)(3) (same).
Accordingly,
