ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS (Doc. 7)

ORDER DISMISSING CERTAIN

CLAIMS

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On December 8, 2005, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendations recommending, among other things, that this action

proceed on Petitioner's claim challenging the disciplinary hearing

procedure. These Findings and Recommendations were served on all

parties and contained notice that any objections were to be filed

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

January 12, 2006, Petitioner filed objections to the Findings and

Recommendations. 

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.

 In the text of the Findings and Recommendations, the Magistrate 1

Judge found that Grounds One through Eleven failed to state a

cognizable federal claim pursuant to section 2254. (F & R at 2-3.)

However, at the conclusion of the recommendation, the Magistrate Judge

inadvertently recommended to dismiss only Grounds One through Nine.

This typographical error is corrected to reflect that Grounds One

through Eleven are dismissed for failure to state a cognizable federal

claim. 

2

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that

the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations are supported

by the record and proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed December 8, 2005,

are ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. Grounds One through Eleven are DISMISSED from this 1

action for Petitioner's failure to state a cognizable federal claim

pursuant to section 2254;

3. Petitioner’s claim challenging the sufficiency of the

evidence of the special circumstance element is DISMISSED from this

action for lack of venue;

4. The Clerk of Court send Petitioner a blank civil rights

complaint and 2254 form petition; and,

5. This action proceed on Petitioner’s claim challenging the

disciplinary hearing procedure.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
