IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AUSTIN BILLY WILLIS, III,

Petitioner,

v.

HEIDI H. LACKNER,

Respondent.

No. 2:13-CV-1599-TLN-CMK-P

ORDER

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 Eastern District of California local rules. 

On March 2, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed amended findings and 

recommendations herein which were served on the parties and which contained notice that the 

parties may file objections within a specified time. No objections to the findings and 

recommendations have been filed. While Respondent has filed a “response” to the amended 

findings and recommendation, Respondent requests that they be adopted without prejudice to 

addressing the issue in full in the answer to the petition. 

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.
