A.A. LaMARQUE,

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, 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 September 8, 2005, the magistrate judge filed amended findings and

recommendations herein which were served on petitioner and which contained notice to petitioner

that any objections were to be filed within 15 days. Petitioner has filed objections to the amended

findings and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 72-

304, this court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire

file, the court finds the amended findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and
