17
18 On August 18, 2020, Petitioner filed the instant habeas petition in this Court. (Doc. 1.)
19 Petitioner challenges his March 31, 2005 conviction. Petitioner is already proceeding with a petition
20 challenging this conviction in Brown v. Warden of U.S.P. Atwater, Case No. 1:20-cv-00233-SAB
21 (HC). In that action, the matter is awaiting a response from Respondent.
22 Review of the petitions filed in both actions reveals that the instant petition duplicates the prior
23 petition. A federal court must dismiss a second or successive petition that raises the same grounds as a
24 prior petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(1).
25 ORDER
26 Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to assign a District Judge to the case.
27 RECOMMENDATION
28 The Court RECOMMENDS that the petition be dismissed as duplicative and successive.
1 This Findings and Recommendation is submitted to the United States District Court Judge
2 assigned to this case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B) and Rule 304 of the
3 Local Rules of Practice for the United States District Court, Eastern District of California. Within ten
4 days after being served with a copy, Petitioner may file written objections with the Court. Such a
5 document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendation.”
6 The Court will then review the Magistrate Judge’s ruling pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C).
7 Petitioner is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to
8 appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
