MINUTES OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Ruben Nino v. Charles Flannigan, et al. 

THE HONORABLE JOHN W. SEDWICK 2:04-cv-02298-JWS

PROCEEDINGS: ORDER FROM CHAMBERS Date: May 14, 2007

Ruben Nino has asked the court to issue a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. The issues were briefed, and Magistrate Judge Pyle filed a report at

docket 26 in which he recommends that petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance from

his lawyer be dismissed as unexhausted and procedurally barred, and that his Blakely

claim be denied on the merits. No objections have been filed.

When reviewing a recommendation from a magistrate judge in a case such as

this, the district court reviews all recommended findings of fact as to which an objection

is taken and all recommended conclusions of law de novo. The district court reviews all

other recommended findings of fact for clear error. Having applied the standards just

recited, this court concludes that the magistrate judge's recommendations are in all

respects correct. This court adopts them. Based thereon, the claim of ineffective

assistance of counsel is dismissed as procedurally barred, and the Blakely claim is

denied on its merits.

For the reasons above, the petition is DENIED, and all claims made by Nino are

DISMISSED with prejudice.

The status motion filed by Nino at docket 24 is DENIED as moot.

The Clerk will please close this file.
