DANIEL CRAIG WILSON, Petitioner, v. STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent.


ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of the Honorable J. Richard Creatura, United States Magistrate Judge. Dkt. 6. The Court having considered the R&R and the remaining record, and no objections having been filed, does hereby find and order as follows:

1. Petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied and this petition is dismissed. Petitioner cannot challenge a state's application of state law in a federal habeas corpus petition. The Court dismisses the petition because amendment of the petition would not cure this defect.
