MINUTES OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Americo Passano v. Alberto Gonzalez, et al. 

THE HONORABLE JOHN W. SEDWICK CASE NO. 2:06-cv-01551-JWS

PROCEEDINGS: ORDER FROM CHAMBERS Date: May 31, 2007

Americano Passano is a citizen of Peru who filled a petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 at docket 1 asserting that his detention pending

removal from the United States is unlawful. At docket 21, Magistrate Judge Duncan

filed a report recommending that the petition be denied. After obtaining an extension of

time, Passano filed objections to the report at docket 24.

In a case such as this one, the district judge reviews the recommended findings

of fact and conclusions of law from the magistrate judge according to the following

standard: All recommended findings of fact as to which an objection is taken and all

recommended conclusions of law are reviewed de novo, and all recommended findings

of fact as to which no objection is taken are reviewed for clear error.

This court has applied the standard of review set out above. Passano does not

challenge any material finding of fact recommended by the magistrate judge. Indeed,

he reaffirms that he concedes the conviction which is what supports removal. This court

finds that the recommended findings of fact are correct.

The thrust of Passano's objection is that the magistrate judge has misapplied the

law in his case. Upon de novo review, this court finds no fault with the legal analysis by

the magistrate judge. This court finds that Magistrate Judge Duncan has correctly

assessed the relationship of the decisions in Demore v. Kim, 538 U.S. 510 (2003) and

Tejani v. Willis, 430 F.3d1241 (9th Cir. 2005) to the facts in the case at bar. Passano's

reliance on Tejani is inappropriate given the facts here. The out of circuit and district

court cases cited by Passano in his objection do not establish any error. 

For the reasons above, this court adopts the recommendations from the

magistrate judge at docket 21. The petition at docket 1 is DENIED.
