v.
ANDRE MATEVOUSIAN,
Respondent.

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

17 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On May 18, 2016, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and
18 Recommendation that recommended the instant petition be transferred to the United State
19 District Court for the Northern District of Florida because it attacked the validity of Petitioner’s
20 federal sentence and Petitioner had failed to establish a cognizable claim of actual innocence for
21 purposes of qualifying to bring a § 2241 habeas petition under the savings clause of 28 U.S.C.
22 § 2255(e). (ECF No. 10). The Findings and Recommendation was served on Petitioner and
23 contained notice that any objections were to be filed within thirty days of the date of service of
24 the findings and recommendation. To date, Petitioner has filed no objections, and the time for
25 doing so has passed.
26

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted

27 a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that
28 the Findings and Recommendation is generally supported by the record and proper analysis.
