11 JOSHUA DAVIS BLAND, No. 2:25-cv-2802 DJC CSK P
12 Petitioner,
13 v. ORDER
14 KELLY SANTORO,
15 Respondent.
16
17 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an application for a writ of
18 habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United
19 States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
20 On March 9, 2026, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations
21 herein which were served on petitioner and which contained notice to Petitioner that
22 any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen
23 days. Petitioner did not file objections to the findings and recommendations.
24 The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United
25 States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The Magistrate Judge’s conclusions of law
26 are reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454
27 (9th Cir. 1983). Having reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and
28 recommendations to be supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s
1 | analysis.
2 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
3 1. The findings and recommendations (ECF No. 6) are adopted in full.
4 2. Petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus is summarily dismissed.
5 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.
6 4. The Court declines to issue the certificate of appealability referenced in 28
7 | U.S.C. § 2253.
