(HC) Williams v. Unknown

Opinion

BRIAN WILLIAMS, No. 2:24-cv-00400-TLN-DB Petitioner, v. ORDER Respondent. Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. On June 5, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which were served on Petitioner and which contained notice to Petitioner that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within 21 days. (ECF No. 5.) Petitioner filed objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 8.) The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Having reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 1. The findings and recommendations, filed on June 5, 2024 (ECF No. 5), are ADOPTED IN FULL; 2. Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED without leave to amend; 3. The Court declines to issue the certificate of appealability referenced in 28 U.S.C. § 2253; and 4. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. Date: August 5, 2024 /) {| jf
