IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFREY GERALD JONES,

Petitioner,

v.

RON DAVIS,

Respondent.

No. 2:97-cv-2167-MCE-CMK

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, brings this petition 

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 Eastern District of California local rules. 

On September 9, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations 

herein which were served on the parties and which contained notice that the parties may file 

objections within a specified time. Timely objections to the findings and recommendations have 

been filed. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 

304(f), this court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the 

entire file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by 

proper analysis.
