(b)(1). On February 3, 2020, Petitioner filed 20 objections to the R. & R., in which he mostly simply repeats 21 arguments from his FAP and Reply. He also contends that the 22 Magistrate Judge “overlooked” Spano v. New York,

, 23 322 (1959), on which he relies. (Objs. at 2.) To the contrary, 24 she distinguished that case on its facts and recognized that the 25 state court of appeal had done so as well. (See R. & R. at 24 26 n.7.) The Magistrate Judge did not err in concluding that the 27 circumstances of Petitioner’s interrogations did not render his 28 limited confession involuntary. (See id. at 23-31.) 1 1 Having reviewed de novo all portions of the R. & R. to which 2 Petitioner objected, the Court accepts the findings and 3 recommendations of the Magistrate Judge. 4 IT THEREFORE IS ORDERED that the First Amended Petition is 5 denied and Judgment be entered dismissing this action with 6 prejudice. 7 8 DATED: February 26, 2020 /s/ FERNANDO M.
