 ORDER

 

 

Having reviewed de novo the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Boyle, filed on August 19, 2016, notwithstanding that no party has filed any

objection to the Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that the Magistrate

Judge correctly determined that the petitioner’s habeas corpus petition, filed

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

filed over two years after the expiration of the AEDPA’s one-year statute of

limitations and the petitioner has made no legally sufficient showing that the

limitations period should be equitably tolled. Therefore,

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

(Doc. 14) is accepted and adopted by the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petitioner’s Petition Under 28 U.S.C. §

2254 for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody is denied and that

this action is dismissed with prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a Certificate of Appealability shall not issue

and that leave to appeal in forma pauperis is denied because the dismissal of the

petitioner’s § 2254 petition is justified by a plain procedural bar and reasonable

jurists would not find the ruling debatable.

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

accordingly.

DATED this 17th day of October, 2016.
