Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of

16

Magistrate Judge Mark E. Aspey (Doc. 23) regarding petitioner’s Petition for Writ of

17

Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The R&R recommends that

18

the Petition be denied and dismissed with prejudice. The Magistrate Judge advised the

19

parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. (R&R at 30 (citing 28

20

U.S.C. § 636(b)). Petitioner filed objections on August 20, 2014 (Doc. 28).

21

The Court has considered the objections and reviewed the Report and

22

Recommendation de novo. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that

23

the court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and

24

Recommendation to which specific objections are made). The Court agrees with the

25

Magistrate Judge’s determinations, accepts the recommended decision within the

26

meaning of Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., and overrules Petitioner’s objections. See 28

27

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole

28

or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”).
