On October 11, 2011, the court issued findings and recommendations 19 recommending that this action be dismissed due to petitioner’s failure to exhaust his claims in 20 state court. (Doc. No. 7.) Specifically, the court noted that petitioner alleged that he had 21 presented one of his claims to the Sacramento County Superior Court and the second claim to the 22 California Court of Appeal, but failed to allege that he had presented either claim to the 23 California Supreme Court. (Id.) On November 7, 2011, petitioner filed objections to those 24 findings and recommendations, asserting that he has, in fact, exhausted his claims to habeas 25 relief by presenting them to the California Supreme Court.

Duval, 9 Cal. 4th 464, 474 (1995). Although 2 petitioner has not submitted a copy of the habeas petition he filed with the California Supreme 3 Court, the court will nonetheless vacate the findings and recommendations recommending 4 dismissal. 5 Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional 6 rights is proved, respondent will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition. 7 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 8 1.
