UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESSE LYLE GEHRKE

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 07cv0575 IEG (LSP)

ORDER (1) ADOPTING THE

MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT

and (2) DENYING THE PETITION

FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS 

(Doc. 9, 18)

vs.

R. SULLIVAN, Warden,

Respondent.

On July 30, 2007, petitioner Jesse Lyle Gehrke, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an

Second Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his

San Diego Superior Court conviction for assault with a deadly weapon and assault by a life prisoner.

(Doc. No. 9.) Petitioner advances two claims: (1) the trial court denied his right to due process by

requiring him to be shackled during trial; (2) the trial court denied his right to due process by

instructing the jury that the could be liable for inflicting injury if he participated in a group beating

of the victim. 

This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Leo S. Papas pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(B). On November 20, 2007, Magistrate Judge Papas issued a Report and

Recommendation recommending the Court deny the petition for writ of habeas corpus in its entirety

because the California Court of Appeal’s decision in petitioner’s case was not contrary to nor an

unreasonable application of federal law. (Doc. No. 18.) Neither party has filed objections to the
