1:05-CV-1552 REC LJO HC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION [Doc. #8], 

DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF

HABEAS CORPUS [Doc. #1], AND 

DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO ENTER

JUDGMENT FOR RESPONDENT

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

On April 6, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued a Findings and Recommendation that

recommended the petition be DISMISSED for failure to allege grounds that would entitle Petitioner

to relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 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 April 28, 2006, Petitioner filed objections to the Findings and Recommendation.

U.S. District Court

 E. D. California cd 2

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, including Petitioner's objections,

the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation is supported by the

record and proper analysis. Petitioner concedes he presented his claims on direct appeal to the

Seventh Circuit and in subsequent § 2255 motions. Thus, Petitioner has had numerous unobstructed

procedural opportunities to present his claims. Petitioner's objections present no grounds for

questioning the Magistrate Judge's analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued April 6, 2006, is ADOPTED IN FULL; 

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

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
