KELLY GENE GETTLING, Petitioner, v. BRIAN BELLEQUE, Oregon State Penitentiary Superintendent, Respondent.
ORDER
HERNANDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Acosta issued a Findings & Recommendation (#50) on November 26, 2013, in which he recommends the Court deny Petitioner's Second Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Petitioner has timely filed objections to the Findings & Recommendation. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b).
When any party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Findings & Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the Magistrate Judge's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Dawson v. Marshall, 561 F.3d 930, 932 (9th Cir. 2009); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc).
I have carefully considered Petitioner's objections and conclude there is no basis to modify the Findings & Recommendation other than to allow to allow a Certificate of Appealability as to certain issues under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). I have also reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and find no other errors in the Magistrate Judge's Findings & Recommendation.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS in part Magistrate Judge Acosta's Findings & Recommendation [#50], and therefore, Petitioner's Second Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [#17] is denied, but a Certificate of Appealability as further specified in the Judgment, is allowed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
