Respondents.

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States 

Magistrate Judge Bridget S. Bade (“R & R”) (Doc. 26), recommending that this Court: 

(1) grant Respondents' Motion to Transfer Pursuant to Ninth Circuit Rule 22-3 (Doc. 23); 

(2) deny as moot Respondents’ Motion to Stay the Time for Filing an Answer (Doc. 23); 

(3) deny as moot Petitioner's Motions to Dismiss (Doc. 24) and his Motion to Stay (Doc. 

25). R & R (Doc. 26) at 3:1-8. As the R & R allowed, pro se Petitioner timely filed his 

objections (Docs. 27-28). 

 After reviewing Petitioner's objections, the Court finds them to be without merit, 

especially in view of the R & R's sound reasoning. 

 Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING as an Order of this Court 

Magistrate Judge Bade's R & R (Doc. 26); 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner's Amended Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 7) is referred to the United States
