ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 3)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (Doc. 1)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On December 17, 2007, the Magistrate Judge assigned to the case filed a Findings and

Recommendation recommending the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed because the

claim challenging Petitioner’s sentence and conviction should have been filed as a motion

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and because Petitioner’s claim of civil rights violations should be

dismissed because they should have been filed as a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. 3). 

This Findings and Recommendation was served on all parties and contained notice that any

objections were to be filed within twenty days from the date of service of that order. To date, the

Case 1:06-cv-00182-OWW -TAG Document 4 Filed 01/28/08 Page 1 of 2

parties have not filed timely objections to the Findings and Recommendation.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that

the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper

analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Report and Recommendation, filed December 17, 2006 (Doc. 3), is

ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. This petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1), is DISMISSED; and

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to ENTER JUDGMENT and close the file. 

This order terminates the action in its entirety. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
