Respondent.
(ECF Nos. 8, 14)

Petitioner is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

18 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 1, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and
19 Recommendation to grant Respondent’s motion to dismiss and to dismiss the petition for writ of
20 habeas corpus with leave to amend. (ECF No. 14). This Findings and Recommendation was
21 served on the parties and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within thirty (30)
22 days of the date of service of that order. To date, the parties have filed no objections, and the
23 time for doing so has passed.
24

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

25 a de novo review of the matter. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes
26 that the Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis, and there
27 is no need to modify the Findings and Recommendation.
