UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JENNIFER C. WELCH,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 06cv0421 DMS (BLM)

ORDER (1) ADOPTING REPORT

AND RECOMMENDATION AND

(2) DENYING PETITION FOR

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

vs.

RON KENAN - WARDEN,

Respondent.

On April 21, 2006, Petitioner Jennifer Welch (“Petitioner”), a state prisoner proceeding pro

se, filed a first amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner

asserts two claims for relief. First, she argues there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s

finding that she personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim. Second, Petitioner claims the

trial court failed to provide the proper instructions to the jury on the element of personal infliction of

great bodily injury in violation of her right to due process. 

On January 11, 2007, Magistrate Judge Barbara L. Major issued a Report and

Recommendation (“R&R”), recommending that the Court deny the Petition. Petitioner filed

objections to the R&R on February 6, 2007. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court has

conducted a de novo review of those portions of the R&R to which Petitioner has filed objections.

After a full and thorough review,
