Petitioner,
vs.
CLARA JONES, et al.,
Respondents.

CASE NO 2:13-cv-723-WHA
(WO)

ORDER
This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #17),
entered on March 23, 2016, and the Petitioner’s “Motion to Dismiss Without Prejudice” (Doc.
#18), which the court interprets as a limited objection to the Recommendation. The court has
conducted an independent evaluation and de novo review of the matter.
The Magistrate Judge recommends that this habeas corpus petition be denied and the case
dismissed with prejudice. The Petitioner agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s conclusion that his
claims are procedurally defaulted and requests that the court “adhere to the Magistrate Judge’s
denial of this case . . . .” He then requests that the case be dismissed without prejudice. The
court agrees, however, with the Magistrate Judge that the dismissal should be with prejudice.
Therefore, to the extent that the Petitioner’s motion is considered as an objection, the motion and
objection are OVERRULED.
The court ADOPTS the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby
ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2254 is DENIED,
and this case is DISMISSED with prejudice.

DONE this 20th day of April, 2016.
