ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 14)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (Doc. 1)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On December 18, 2007, the Magistrate Judge assigned to the case filed a Findings and

Recommendation recommending the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed because the

petition failed to state a federal claim and because of Petitioner’s failure to exhaust his state court

remedies. (Doc. 14). This Findings and Recommendation was served on all parties and

contained notice that any objections were to be filed within twenty days from the date of service

of that order. On January 2, 2008, Petitioner filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Findings

and Recommendations. (Doc. 15). 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that

the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper

analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
