IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEOFFREY LINN JONES, No. CIV S-04-2424-DFL-PAN-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

ROXANNE CAMPBELL,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, 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 Local Rule 72-302(c)(21).

On January 5, 2006, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

herein which were served on petitioner and which contained notice to petitioner that any

objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty days. Petitioner

has filed objections to the findings and recommendations. In the objections, petitioner argues

that his previous § 2254 petition should be reinstated because it was a “mixed” petition and he

was not afforded the opportunity to amend it. However, the previous petition only contained

unexhausted claims. Therefore, dismissing the petition without prejudice was appropriate.
