UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELIAS XICOTENCATL, Case No. 2:20-cv-09612-FWS (SK) Petitioner, ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT Vv. AND RECOMMENDATION TO J. GASTELO, DENY HABEAS PETITION

Respondent. Pursuant to

, the Court has reviewed the attached Report and Recommendation to deny the habeas petition and any relevant records if needed. Because the time for objections has passed with none filed, the Court need not review de novo the findings and conclusions in the Report and Recommendation. See Thomas v. Arn,

(1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

(9th Cir. 2003). THEREFORE, the Court accepts the Report and Recommendation and orders that the petition under

be DENIED. Judgment will be entered accordingly with each of Petitioner’s claims being DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, except for Petitioner’s equal protection claim, which is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of federal habeas jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 11, 2023 b//— HON. FRED W. SLAUGHTER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
