cases, recommending that petition for habeas corpus relief be denied and the case dismissed. The
matter is now before me. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(B) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). When either
patty objects to any portion of a magistrate judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district
comt must make a de novo determination of that po1tion of the magistrate judge's repmi. 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(l); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc., 656 F.2d
1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Petitioner filed objections to the Findings and Recommendation.
Upon de novo review, I find no error and agree that petitioner failed to establish that the state
