ORDER

Petitioner, Michael Wayne Jordan, filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus on

September 2, 2005. Respondents answered on December 12, 2005. No reply was filed.

Petitioner asserts that: 1) the sentence was based on erroneous assumptions and violated the

rule announced in Blakely v. Washington; 2) counsel was ineffective; 3) the evidence at trial

did not establish mens rea; and 4) the sentence violates the Eighth Amendment because the

defendant is factually innocent.

The Magistrate Judge filed her Report and Recommendation on January 25, 2006,

recommending that Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be dismissed.

In her Report and Recommendation the Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they

had 10 days from the date of service of a copy of the Report and Recommendation within

which to file specific written objections with the Court. The time to file such objections has

long since expired and no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.
