IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON EUGENE DIVISION

KALEI ALOHA MORRIS, Case No. 6:18-cv-01747-CL ORDER

Petitioner, vs.

MARK NOOTH,

Respondent.

AIKEN, District Judge: Magistrate Judge Mark Clarke has filed his Findings and Recommendation (“F&R”) (Doc. 52) recommending that the petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) be denied. Magistrate Judge Clarke has also recommended that this case be dismissed and that a Certificate of Appealability be denied. This case is now before me. See

(b)(1)(B) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate judge’s F&R, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate judge’s report. See

(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc.,

(9th Cir. 1981), cert denied,

(1982). Petitioner has filed timely objections to the F&R (Doc. 54) and respondent has

filed a timely response. Doc. 55. Having reviewed the objection, response, and the entire file of this case, the Court finds no error in Magistrate Judge Clarke’s order. Thus, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Clarke’s F&R (Doc. 52) in its entirety. The petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) is dismissed. Further, the Court declines to issue a Certificate of Appealability on the grounds that petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right pursuant to

(c)(2). Accordingly, this action is dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated this _2_4_t_h_ day of March, 2021.
