ORDER OF REFERENCE

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a habeas petition pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. The Ninth Circuit recently issued a decision in Hayward v. Marshall, No. 06-

interest. The Court hereby re-refers this matter to the Honorable John L. Weinberg, United

States Magistrate Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Local Rule MJR 4, and Fed. R.

Civ. P. 72(b) for any further proceedings he deems necessary. Any appeal from the

determinations of the Magistrate Judge shall be in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and

Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2).
