PEDRO V. CASTILLO 10 UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 1] 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | | In Bastidas v. Chappell,

(9th Cir. 2015), the Ninth Circuit held that 24 | the magistrate judge had the authority to grant Petitioner’s request to dismiss two 5 unexhausted claims in his habeas petition without the approval of a district judge, as the magistrate judge’s order was simply “doing what [the] habeas petitioner has 26 | asked.”

. While Bastidas is not entirely on point, the stipulation for 7 remand and entry of judgment here is jointly made by the parties, without any compulsion from the magistrate judge. Because there appears to be no danger of 28 | undue prejudice to any party, the Court grants the request.
