Pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and an order of the District Court, Petitioner's motion for relief from judgment has been referred to the United States Magistrate Judge. The findings, conclusions and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge follow:

On October 1, 2004, Petitioner filed a motion for relief from judgment. Petitioner's motion reiterates the claims in his § 2254 petition. For the reasons stated in this Court's July 20, 2004, Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation, the Court finds the motion for relief from judgment should be DENIED.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND NOTICE OF RIGHT TO APPEAL/OBJECT
