MEMORANDUM & ORDER
CAROL BAGLEY AMON, District Judge.
Petitioner Gregory Allen, proceeding pro se, filed the instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging his 2006 conviction of several charges in Queens County Supreme Court. On January 18, 2013, the Court referred Allen's motion to Magistrate Judge Cheryl Pollak for a Report and Recommendation ("R&R"). On September 10, 2013, Magistrate Pollak issued an R&R and provided Allen until September 27, 2013 to file any objections to the R&R.
No party has objected to the R&R, and the time for doing so has passed. When deciding whether to adopt an R&R, a district court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(C). To accept those portions of the R&R to which no timely objection has been made, "a district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record." Jarvis v. N. Am. Globex Fund, L.P., 823 F.Supp.2d 161, 163 (E.D.N.Y. 2011) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). This Court has reviewed the record and, finding no clear error, hereby adopts Magistrate Judge Pollak's recommendation as the decision of the Court.1
Accordingly, the Court denies Allen's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Since Allen has failed to make a "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right," a Certificate of Appealability shall not issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment and to close the case.
SO ORDERED.
