ORDER

After due and proper consideration of all portions of this file deemed

relevant to the issues raised, and there having been no objections filed, the

recommendation of the Magistrate Judge made under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(B)

and dated June 27, 2007 is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court with the

following amendment to the last parenthetical section of the second sentence

of paragraph 5 at page 12, which shall read as follows: 

Mack’s convictions decidedly became final on July 31, 2002,

(i.e. 90 days after May 2, 2002, the date upon which Mack’s

time period to petition for rehearing in the Court of Criminal

Appeals expired which was fourteen (14) days after April 18,

2002, the date that his notice of appeal was dismissed as

untimely. See Rule 41(c) of the Alabama Rules of Appellate

Procedure (“An application for rehearing . . . must be filed with

the clerk of the appropriate appellate court within 14 days (2

weeks) of the date the decision being questioned is issued”),

and, therefore, absent tolling, he had one year, or through July

Therefore, it is ORDERED that petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas

corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 be dismissed as time barred pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d). 

DONE this 26th day of July, 2007.
