ORDER 14 JEFF LYNCH, 15 Respondent. 16 17 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an application for a writ of 18 habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United 19 States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 20 On May 28, 2024, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations 21 herein which were served on all parties, and which contained notice to all parties that 22 any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen 23 days.

The Court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and 1 | recommendations to be supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s 2 | analysis. 3 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 4 1. The findings and recommendations (ECF No. 31) are adopted in full; 5 2. Petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus is denied; and 6 3. The Court declines to issue the certificate of appealability referenced in 28 7 | U.S.C. § 2253 as Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a 8 | constitutional right, see 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); and 9 4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. 10 14 IT IS SO ORDERED. 12 | Dated: _ January 31, 2025 “Dane A Hon.
