Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

19

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s motion for

20

discovery (Doc. 9). For the reasons outlined in the court’s February 17, 2017, findings and

21

recommendations, the court finds that petitioner’s claims are all subject to dismissal. Therefore,

22

further discovery in this matter would be futile.
