Opinion
Civil No. 06-1023-TC
02-29-2012
CECIL JEROME HATCHETT, Petitioner, v. JEAN HILL, Respondent.
ORDER
Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin filed Findings and Recommendation on December 21, 2011, in the above entitled case. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1)(B) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate judge's report. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982).
Petitioner has timely filed objections. I have, therefore, given de novo review of Magistrate Judge Coffin's rulings,
I find no error. Accordingly, I ADOPT Magistrate Judge Coffin's Findings and Recommendation filed December 21, 2011, in its entirety. Petitioner's first amended petition (#70) is denied. This proceeding is dismissed. The clerk of court is directed to enter judgment accordingly.
