No. CV09-1278-PHX-SRB

ORDER

Petitioner filed his Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254 on September 10, 2009 claiming that: 1) his Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and

Equal Protection Rights were violated as a result of the state court's refusal to order specific

performance of the plea agreement provision governing use of prior convictions; and 2)

denial of Due Process and Equal Protection as a result of the state court's court's treatment

of his state habeas petition as a petition for post-conviction relief in violation of the Arizona

Constitution. On November 12, 2009, Respondents filed their Response to the Petition for

Writ of Habeas Corpus. On December 9, 2009 Petitioner filed a Traverse. On November 16,

2010, the Magistrate Judge issued his Report and Recommendation recommending that the

first claim in the petition be dismissed with prejudice and that the balance of Petitioner's

Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be denied.
