UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE TYRONE COOPER,

Petitioner,

v.

JEANNE WOODFORD, Warden,

Respondent.

CV F 06-1706 OWW SMS HC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS,

RECOMMENDATIONS DISMISSING

PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

AND DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

OPEN AND ISSUE A NEW CASE NUMBER

FOR § 1983 COMPLAINT FORM ATTACHED

TO OBJECTIONS

[Docs. 6, 7]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On January 4, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation that the

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be DISMISSED. This 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 January 24, 2007, Petitioner filed timely 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, including Petitioner's

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

supported by the record and proper analysis. 

In his objections, Petitioner acknowledges that he intended to file a § 1983 action, and

has attached a § 1983 complaint form to the objections. Petitioner is advised that the Court

cannot, and will not, convert this action into a § 1983 action. Rather, the Court will direct the

Clerk of Court to open and issue a new case number for the § 1983 complaint attached to the

objections. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued January 4, 2007, is ADOPTED IN

FULL;

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

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to open and issue a new case number for the § 1983

complaint form attached to the objections (Court Doc. 7), filed January 24, 2007;

and

4. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close this action. This terminates this

action in its entirety.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
