UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL A. JOHNSON,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 09cv927 BTM(POR)

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT &

RECOMMENDATION; GRANTING

MOTION TO DISMISS; DISMISSING

PETITION; AND DENYING

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

v.

JOHN MARSHALL, Warden,

Respondent.

In a Report and Recommendation filed on January 16, 2010, Magistrate Judge Porter

recommends that Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Relief from Order be

granted. No objections have been filed. The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of

Habeas Corpus (“Petition”) and relevant record and concludes that the Report and

Recommendation correctly applies the relevant law to the record. Petitioner’s habeas

petition is barred as second or successive under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b), because Petitioner

previously challenged his September 9, 1996 conviction in a habeas petition that was

dismissed with prejudice on September 21, 2001. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473,

486-88 (2000). Petitioner has not obtained authorization from the Ninth Circuit Court of

Appeals to file a second or successive petition as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3).

Therefore, the Court orders:

1. The Report and Recommendation filed on January 16, 2010 is ADOPTED as
