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

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 thirty days. ECF No. 17. Neither party 

has filed objections to the findings and recommendations. Moreover, petitioner has failed to file a 

first amended petition in accordance with the court’s order and deadlines. ECF Nos. 17, 20.
