 After the report and recommendation was filed, the Supreme Court decided Martinez

v. Ryan, __ U.S. __, __ S. Ct. __, 2012 WL 912950 (Mar. 20, 2012). Martinez does not alter

the analysis in this case, however, because petitioner raised an ineffective assistance of

counsel claim in his state action for post-conviction relief that was decided on the merits.

The magistrate judge did not conclude that petitioner procedurally defaulted on this claim,

but rather determined that the state court's denial of relief was neither clearly contrary to nor

an unreasonable application of federal law.

ORDER

The court has before it petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254 (doc. 1), respondents' response (doc. 11), and petitioner's reply (doc. 13). We

also have the report and recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge

recommending that the petition be denied (doc. 14). Petitioner did not object to the report

and recommendation, and the time for doing so has expired. After review, we accept the

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to Rule 8(b), Rules

Governing § 2254 Cases. See also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th

Cir. 2003).1

judgment.
