ORDER AND 14 WARDEN, FCI HERLONG, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 15 Respondent. — 16 — 17 Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of 18 habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 . The filing fee for this action has been paid. 19 Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the court must review all 20 petitions for writ of habeas corpus and summarily dismiss any petition if it is plain that the 21 petitioner is not entitled to relief. See also Rule 1(b) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases 22 (permitting district courts to apply the Habeas Rules to § 2241 proceedings). The court has 23 conducted that review and concludes that summary dismissal is warranted. 24 A review of the docket in this case indicates that petitioner submitted the pending § 2241 25 petition to prison authorities for mailing on April 25, 2023. However, it was not docketed in this 26 court until May 24, 2023. ECF No. 1. The eight page petition seeks 330 days of First Step Act 27 credits applied to petitioner’s sentence resulting in an earlier release date in March 2024. This 28 same claim is also raised in Rubio v. Warden, F.C.I. Herlong, No. 2:23-cv-00854-EFB (E.D. 1 | Cal.) (‘Rubio 1”), which was docketed in this court on May 8, 2023.' The habeas petition in 2 || Rubio 1 has been ordered served on respondent. 3 This court has reviewed the § 2241 petition in the present case along with the pending 4 || petition in Rubio 1 and finds that they are identical. Because the § 2241 petition in Rubio 1 was 5 || docketed first, the present action should be dismissed based on its duplicative nature. Therefore, 6 || the undersigned recommends that petitioner’s § 2241 application be summarily dismissed as 7 || duplicative. 8 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court randomly assign this 9 || matter to a district court judge. 10 IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that: 11 1. Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus be summarily dismissed as 12 duplicative. 13 2. The $5.00 filing fee paid for this action be returned to petitioner. 14 3. The Clerk of Court be directed to close this case. 15 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 16 || assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1). Within fourteen days 17 || after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 18 || objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned 19 || “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations. Any response to the 20 || objections shall be served and filed within fourteen days after service of the objections. The 21 || parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to 22 || appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.
