 ORDER

 

 

Having reviewed de novo the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Aspey notwithstanding that no party has filed any objections to the Report and

Recommendation, the Court finds that the Magistrate Judge correctly determined

that the petitioner’s habeas corpus petition, originally filed on March 13, 2013

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, should be dismissed as time-barred because this

action was commenced more than five years after the AEDPA’s one-year statute of

limitations expired in mid-2007, and the petitioner has made no showing that the

limitations period should be equitably tolled. Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation

(Doc.13) is accepted and adopted by the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner Mark D. Crawford’s [Second

Amended] Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person

in State Custody (Doc. 6) is denied and that this action is dismissed with prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no certificate of appealability shall issue and

that the petitioner is denied leave to appeal in forma pauperis because jurists of

reason would neither find it debatable whether the petitioner has made a substantial

showing of the denial of a constitutional right nor whether the Court is correct in its

procedural ruling.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment

accordingly.

DATED this 11th day of May, 2015.
