(HC) Thompson v. Spearman

Opinion

KANE MICHAEL THOMPSON, No. 2:20-cv-0726 KJM DB P Petitioner, v. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Respondent. Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (ECF No. 1) (“Thompson II”). The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. A review of the petition filed in this action indicates that it is a virtual duplicate of the petition earlier-filed in Thompson v. Spearman, 2:19-cv-2328 KJM DB P (“Thompson I”). (Compare Thompson II, ECF No. 1, with Thompson I, ECF No. 1) (alleging same claims). For this reason, the undersigned shall recommend that this action be dismissed as such. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED as duplicative of Thompson v. Spearman, No. 2:19-cv-2328 KJM DB P. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within thirty days after being served with these findings and recommendations, petitioner may file written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings wOAOe 2 EUV EEN INI RD OO PON vee OY ee

and Recommendations.” Petitioner is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.
