No. CV-07-1236-PHX-FJM

ORDER

The court has before it petitioner’s “Petition for Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2255” (doc. 1), petitioner’s “Amendment” (doc. 10), respondent’s “Answer” (doc. 14),

petitioner’s “Reply” (doc. 19), the Report and Recommendation of the United States

Magistrate Judge (doc. 20), and “Petitioner’s Objections to the Report and Recommendation”

(doc. 24). 

The comprehensive Report and Recommendation very carefully evaluated each of

petitioner’s claims. Petitioner contends that the magistrate judge deliberately misstated the

facts. We reject this contention. There was a simple, harmless, typographical error in the

Report and Recommendation. The petitioner reargues denial of effective assistance of

counsel, a fundamental miscarriage of justice, and cause and prejudice. However, these

contentions have been adequately dealt with by the magistrate judge and are without merit.

There is no need to duplicate that analysis here. Petitioner reargues factual assertions but a

habeas petition is not an opportunity to retry the case.

After de novo review of petitioner’s objections under Rule 8(b), Rules

Governing § 2254 Cases, the court accepts the recommendation of the United States

Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED DENYING petitioner’s “Petition for Writ

of Habeas Corpus” (doc. 1).

DATED this 22nd day of May, 2008.
