the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation is supported by the

record and proper analysis. Petitioner's objections present no grounds for questioning the Magistrate

Judge's analysis. 

Petitioner acknowledges that he has a pending petition in Case No. “CV F 04 6032 OWW

DLB HC” which concerns the same conviction and judgment. Petitioner states he has new claims

which he wishes to raise and he did not know whether to amend the first petition or file a new

petition, so he opted for the latter. Petitioner is advised that he must seek leave of Court in Case No.

“CV F 04 6032 OWW DLB HC” to amend the petition pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure in order to present his additional claims. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued May 17, 2005, is ADOPTED IN FULL; 

2. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DISMISSED; and

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
