SUSAN R. BOLTON, District Judge.
Petitioner, Alan Bartlett, filed his Petitioner for Writ of Habeas Corpus on April 15, 2019 alleging that his pending state court prosecution violates the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitution. After Respondents answered and Petitioner filed a Reply, the Magistrate Judge issued her Report and Recommendation concluding that there was no Double Jeopardy Clause violation arising from his prosecution in Arizona because his prior prosecution and conviction in the United States District Court for the District of Alaska was a prosecution by a different sovereign and a second prosecution, even for the same offenses by the State of Arizona would not violate Double Jeopardy. The Magistrate Judge also found that Petitioner's Arizona prosecution was not for the same crimes prosecuted in Alaska federal court. While the nature of the crimes were similar, the Arizona charges are alleged to have occurred at different times and involved different victims than the Alaska federal convictions. The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Petition for Writ of Habeas be denied and that a Certificate of Appealability also be denied.
Petitioner filed a document entitled "Petitioner's Objection to Report and Recommendation" to which Respondents responded. Petitioner's Objection is not to the proposed findings and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. The Report and Recommendation is not even mentioned in the so-called Objection. Rather, Petitioner makes fanciful claims about the validity of these proceedings and the authority of the Court. As Respondents note, the Court has no obligation to make de novo review of the matter in the absence of objections to the findings or recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
In any event the Court is agreement with the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge that the Double Jeopardy Clause does not bar Arizona's prosecution of Petitioner.
