Filed February 23, 2007.
Robert J. Collins, Adelanto, CA, pro se.
Jeffrey Backhus, Esq., USLA-Office of the U.S. Attorney, Criminal Division, Los Angeles, CA, for Respondent-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California; R. Gary Klausner, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CV-04-01599-RGK.
Before: BEEZER, FERNANDEZ, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Robert J. Collins appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
We reject Collins' contentions that the district court lacked jurisdiction to refer his case to a magistrate judge without his consent, and that the magistrate judge lacked jurisdiction to handle that referral for the entire case. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Wang v. Masaitis, 416 F.3d 992, 999-1000 (9th Cir. 2005).
The Clerk shall file Collins' Judicial Notice and Supplemental Appeal Brief, received April 4, 2006.
