Attorney for Respondent HERNANDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Janice M. Stewart issued a Findings and Recommendation ("F&R") [36] recommending that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [2] be denied and that Petitioner's motion for an evidentiary hearing [31] be denied. Judge Stewart also recommended that a certificate of appealability be denied because Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Petitioner filed timely objections to the Magistrate Judge's F&R. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
When any party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge's F&R, as here, 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 Plaintiff's objections and conclude that these objections do not provide a basis to modify the F&R. I have also reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and find no error in the Magistrate Judge's F&R.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's F&R [36]. Accordingly, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [2] is DENIED and Petitioner's motion for an evidentiary hearing [31] is DENIED. A certificate of appealability is also DENIED because Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
