UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT TACOMA DAVID ALLEN HAWKINS, Petitioner, v. ELDON VAIL, Respondent. No. C10-5162BHS ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of the Honorable Karen L. Strombom, United States Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 5) and Petitioner's Objection to Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 6). The Court has considered the Report and Recommendation, Petitioner's objections, and the remaining record, and hereby adopts the Report and Recommendation for the reasons stated herein. On March 10, 2010, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Dkt. 3. On March 15, 2010, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 5) which transferred Petitioner's writ for habeas corpus to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals because it is successive under Circuit Rule 22-3(a). On March 24, 2010, Petitioner objected to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. Dkt. 6. Petitioner does not object to the fact that his petition is successive. Instead, he objects on the basis that this matter should not be transferred to the

Ninth Circuit because he has already "filed for Permission to File the Current Petition with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on February 8th 2010." Id. at 2. Petitioner requests that this Court overrule or dismiss the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and grant review of his petition. However, pursuant to Circuit Rule 22-3(a), this Court lacks the authority to review Petitioner's writ of habeas corpus because it is successive. Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that: (1) (2) (3) The Court OVERRULES Petitioner's objections; The Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation; and This action is TRANSFERRED to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
pursuant to Rule 22-3(a). DATED this 28th day of April, 2010.
