UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KENNETH O. OWENS, JR., 

Petitioner, 

v. 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. 2:15-cv-1286 KJM GGH P 

ORDER 

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

corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as 

provided by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On May 9, 2019, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, 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. Petitioner has filed objections to the 

findings and recommendations. 

 In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of this case. The magistrate judge recommends dismissal 

of this action for failure to exhaust state court in remedies. In his objections, petitioner asserts 

that he exhausted state court remedies with two California Supreme Court habeas corpus 

petitions, Case Nos. 5234384 and 5232389.
