ORDER

Before the Court are Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254 (doc. #1), Petitioner's Motion for Notice of Intent to Strike Ground Six (doc.

#25), United States Magistrate Judge Morton Sitver's Report and Recommendation (doc.

#32), and Petitioner's Written Objections to Magistrate Judge's Recommendation (doc. #35).

The Court has considered Petitioner's objections and reviewed the Report and

Recommendation de novo. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the

Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and

Recommendation to which specific objections are made). The Court agrees with the

magistrate judge's determinations, accepts his recommended decision within the meaning of

Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., and overrules Petitioner's objections. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)

(stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings

or recommendations made by the magistrate”).
