IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD ALEX WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. 2: 03-cv-0721 LKK JFM

vs.

CHERYL PLILER, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner and is proceeding through counsel with an

application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On June 29, 2012 the

magistrate judge recommended granting the habeas petition. Subsequently, respondent moved

for an evidentiary hearing. Respondent’s motion for an evidentiary hearing was referred to the

magistrate judge. On November 15, 2012, the magistrate judge granted respondent’s motion for

an evidentiary hearing. (See Dkt. No. 89.) Petitioner filed objections to the order granting the

evidentiary hearing. (See Dkt. No. 90.) Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 303(f) and Federal Rule of

Civil Procedure 72(a), a magistrate judge’s orders shall be upheld unless “clearly erroneous or

contrary to law.” Upon review of the entire file, the court finds that it does not appear that the

magistrate judge’s ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
