EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES MICHAEL STONE,

Petitioner,

WARDEN, MULE CREEK STATE 

PRISON,

Respondent.

No. 2:21-cv-01708-TLN-AC

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On November 6, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to 

the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. (ECF No. 22.) 

Petitioner filed objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 23.)

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the 

Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper 

analysis.
