Rice, 276 F.3d 478, 481 25 (9th Cir.2001). 26 \\\\\ 1 Dockets.Justia.com Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that the petition for writ of 1 2 habeas corpus be dismissed without prejudice. 3 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District 4 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).
