Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-2260 JAM DAD P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has 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 July 23, 2015, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which 

were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the 

findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. On August 17, 2015, the 

magistrate judge granted petitioner a thirty-day extension of time to file any objections. That 

time period has now expired. To date, neither party has filed objections to the findings and 

recommendations. 

 The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be 

supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY 

ORDERED that:
