UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN SCOTT MCCLINTOCK,

Petitioner,

v.

GENA JONES,

Respondent.

No. 2:24-cv-01599-TLN-AC

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, 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 Rule 302.

On November 15, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to 

the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty one days. Neither party filed 

objections to the findings and recommendations.

The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 

F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo.

See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). The Court has 

reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and 

by the magistrate judge’s analysis.
