Petitioner has filed requests for an evidentiary hearing and for oral argument on the merits

14

of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. After reviewing the parties’ briefing and the record, the

15

Court has determined that neither an evidentiary hearing nor oral argument is warranted in this

16

case. See Rule 8(a), Rules Governing Habeas Corpus Cases under Section 2254 (requiring district

17

court to review answer, transcripts, and state court records to determine whether an evidentiary

18

hearing is warranted); Habeas L.R. 2254-7(a) (requiring court to “give due consideration to

19

whether an evidentiary hearing will be held”); Habeas L.R. 2254-8(b) (granting court discretion

20

whether to hear oral argument).

21

Accordingly, Petitioner’s requests are DENIED.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
