IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEO KING PARKER III,

Petitioner, 2:01-cv-01862-GEB-DAD-P

vs.

GAIL LEWIS, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with

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 General

Order No. 262.

On April 7, 2005, 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 twenty days. 

On April 21, 2005, May 25, 2005 and August 15, 2005, petitioner

1 In his objections to the findings and recommendations,

petitioner appears to be raising claims that were not contained

in the petition before this court. Specifically, petitioner

argues, for the first time, that: (1) the trial court erred in

failing to dismiss a juror for cause; (2) the trial court erred

when it failed to admonish the jury that the prosecutor committed

misconduct during her cross-examination of petitioner; and (3)

the prosecutor systematically excluded all female AfricanAmericans from the jury. These claims are unexhausted,

unsupported by citation to the record, and are inappropriately

raised in petitioner’s objections. Accordingly, this court will

not address them.

2

was granted an additional thirty days to file his objections. On

September 7, 2005, petitioner filed objections to the findings

and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 72-304, this court has conducted a

de novo review of this case and has reviewed the declaration of

Marilyn R. Mobert, attached as an exhibit to petitioner’s

September 7, 2005 objections. Having carefully reviewed the

entire file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to

be supported by the record and by proper analysis.1

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed April 7,

2005, are adopted in full; and

2. Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas

corpus is denied.

Dated: September 19, 2005
