IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
Offen Petroleum LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.
L&J Express LLC, et al.,
Defendants.
No. CV-25-00061-TUC-JCH (EJM)
ORDER
Before 	the 	Court 	is 	Magistrate 	Judge 	Eric 	J. 	Markovich’s 	Report 	and
Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 116) on Plaintiff Offen Petroleum LLC’s Application
for Writ of Attachment with Notice (Doc. 99). Defendant AJMR Distributors LLC objects
to Plaintiff’s Application. (Doc. 102.) Magistrate Judge Markovich recommends denying
Plaintiff’s Application. (Doc. 116.) Neither party objects to the R&R. (See generally
Docket.)
A district court reviews objected-to portions of an R&R de novo. 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Remsing, 874 F.2d 614, 617
(9th Cir. 1989). Failure to timely object may be considered a waiver of a party’s right to de
novo consideration of the issues. See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,
1121–22 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc). The Court reviews for clear error any unobjected-to
portions of the R&R. See Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999).
Plaintiff seeks a writ of attachment under A.R.S. § 12-1521(2) against fuel located
in Defendant AJMR Distributors LLC’s storage yard. (Doc. 99 at 2.) In the alternative,

Plaintiff requests a writ of garnishment against Defendant’s earnings from the sale of the
fuel located in the storage yard. (Doc. 103 at 6.)
The R&R sets forth 	the applicable Arizona statutes and caselaw governing
applications for writs of attachment and garnishment and finds that Plaintiff’s application
fails to comply with their requirements. (Doc. 116 at 10–13.) After independent review,
the Court is satisfied that Magistrate Judge Markovich’s recommendation is sound. The
Court will adopt the R&R in full.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED ADOPTING in full the R&R (Doc. 116) and DENYING
Plaintiff’s Application for Writ of Attachment With Notice (Doc. 99).
Dated this 12th day of November, 2025.
