FIDEL ALCANTAR SOTO, Petitioner, v. M.E. SPEARMAN, Respondent.
ORDER
Troy L. Nunley United States District Judge.
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On September 8, 2022, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. (ECF No. 18.) Petitioner was granted two extensions of time to file objections (ECF Nos. 21, 24) and has now filed timely objections to the findings and recommendations (ECF No. 25).
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Findings and Recommendations filed September 8, 2022 (ECF No. 18), are adopted in full;
2. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) is DENIED;
3. The Court declines to issue the certificate of appealability referenced in 28 U.S.C. § 2253; and
4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.
