On February 5, 2018, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. (Doc. 1.) Upon

18

review of the petition, the Court found that Petitioner failed to establish grounds for habeas

19

corpus relief, and that the proper avenue for his complaints is a Bivens action pursuant to Bivens

20

v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). On

21

February 8, 2018, the Court issued Findings and Recommendations to DISMISS the petition

22

without prejudice to filing a Bivens action. (Doc. 4.) This Findings and Recommendation was

23

served upon all parties and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within twenty-

24

one days from the date of service of that order. Over twenty-one days have passed and no party

25

has filed objections.

26

After the Findings and Recommendations were issued, the parties consented to Magistrate

27

Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). On March 8, 2018, the District Court

28

assigned the action to the undersigned for all further purposes and proceedings. (Doc. 9.)
