Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed 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.

objections to the findings and recommendations.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be

ORDERED that:
