Case No. 15-cv-65 DMS (KSC)
04-21-2016
CHARLES EASTER, Petitioner, v. SCOTT KERNAN, Secretary, Respondent.
ORDER (1) ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND (2) DENYING PETITION
On January 12, 2015, Petitioner Charles Easter, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On March 14, 2015, Magistrate Judge Karen S. Crawford issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that the Court deny the petition. Neither side has filed objections to the R&R, and the time for doing so has expired.
This Court, having reviewed de novo the Magistrate Judge's R&R, adopts the Magistrate Judge's recommendation in full and DENIES the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court finds no basis for a certificate of appealability. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment accordingly, and terminate this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: April 21, 2016

The Honorable Dana M. Sabraw
United States District Court Judge
