ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION

[Doc. #7]

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS

[Doc. #1]

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of coram nobis. 

On July 23, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation that

recommended the petition be DISMISSED with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge further

recommended that the Clerk of Court be DIRECTED to enter judgment. The Findings and

Recommendation was served on all parties and contained notice that any objections were to be filed

within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order. 

On August 3, 2007, Petitioner filed 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 and having considered the

Case 1:07-cv-00645-AWI-LJO Document 9 Filed 08/29/07 Page 1 of 2

objections, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation is

supported by the record and proper analysis, and there is no need to modify the Findings and

Recommendations based on the points raised in the objections. The Court has reviewed the cases

cited in Petitioner’s objections, including, Anduha v. Marshall, 166 F.3d 342, 1998 WL 856371

(Table) (9 Cir. 1998), Anduha v. Marshall, 68 F.3d 480, 1995 WL 620938, (Table) (9 Cir. 1995), th th

and Greenhill v. Rowland, 8 F.3d 26, 1993 WL 364383, (Table) (9 Cir. 1993). These cases are all th

appeals from habeas corpus petitions by state prisoners brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Neither

these cases, nor any other cited by Petitioner, support Petitioner’s assertion that a writ of error coram

nobis is available to correct the improper denial of a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition concerning a state

conviction. As explained by the Magistrate Judge, coram nobis relief is available only to challenge

federal convictions. See Yasui v. United States, 772 F.2d 1496, 1498 (9 Cir.1985) ("the writ of th

error coram nobis fills a void in the availability of post-conviction remedies in federal criminal

cases"). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued July 23, 2007, is ADOPTED IN FULL; 

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

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
