ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges a 2018 cell search. 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 February 20, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which were served on petitioner and which contained notice to petitioner that any objections to 

the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (ECF No. 8.) Petitioner 

has not filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

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.
