JEFFREY GERARD JONES, Petitioner, v. RON BROOMFIELD, Respondent.
DEATH PENALTY CASE
ORDER
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided by Eastern District of California local rules.
On February 2, 2022, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which were served on the parties and which contained notice that the parties may file objections within fourteen days. No objections to the findings and recommendations have been filed.
The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge's conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court . . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the proper analysis.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The findings and recommendations filed February 2, 2022, ECF No. 161, are adopted in full;
2. Petitioner's unopposed motion, ECF No. 156, for reconsideration of the Court's March 30, 2016, order is granted;
3. This action is stayed and further proceedings on the merits of any of petitioner's claims are held in abeyance; and
4. The matter is referred back to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings.
