No. 2:17-cv-0958 KJM AC P
Petitioner,

v.

JOHN SUTTON,

ORDER
Respondent.
16
17
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed an
18
application for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. ECF No. 1. The matter was
19
referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local
20
Rule 302.
21
On June 14, 2022, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, which were
22
served on petitioner, and which contained notice to petitioner that any objections to the findings
23
and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. ECF No. 45. Petitioner has not
24
filed objections to the findings and recommendations.
25
The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States,
26
602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed
27
de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law
28
by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court
1
1
. . . .”). Having reviewed the file and carefully considered the Magistrate Judge’s thorough
2
discussion of the Batson claim, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported
3
by the record and by the proper analysis.
4
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
5
1. The findings and recommendations issued June 14, 2022 (ECF No. 45), are
