This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”)
14
of the Honorable J. Richard Creatura, United States Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 49), and
15
Petitioner Robert Byron Lee’s (“Lee”) objections to the R&R (Dkt. 50).

On October 4, 2017, Judge Creatura issued the R&R recommending that the Court
17
deny Lee’s petition on the merits. Dkt. 49. On October 11, 2017, Lee filed objections.
18
Dkt. 50.
19
The district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s
20
disposition that has been properly objected to. The district judge may accept, reject, or
21
modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the
22
magistrate judge with instructions. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).

4
objections, and the remaining record, the Court hereby finds and orders as follows:

Lee’s petition is DENIED;
