UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TSHOMBE M. KELLEY,

Petitioner,

v.

LEE ANN LUNDY,

Respondent.

No. 2:23-cv-1167-TLN-SCR

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 5, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations which 

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

recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. Petitioner filed objections to the 

findings and recommendations.

The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 

F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. 

See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the 

magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] 

court[.]”). Having reviewed the file, including Petitioner’s objections, the Court finds the
