MEMORANDUM OPINION

The magistrate judge filed his report and recommendation on December 14, 2015,

recommending dismissal of petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for habeas corpus relief. (Doc. 8). 

 Petitioner requested and received an extension of time in which to file objections and, on January 

25, 2016, he timely filed objections to the report and recommendation. (Doc. 11). 

Having now carefully considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including the 

report and recommendation and the objections, the court is of the opinion that the magistrate 

judge's report is due to be ADOPTED and the recommendation ACCEPTED. The claims for 

habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the above-styled cause is due to be denied and 

dismissed with prejudice. A final judgment will be entered accordingly. 

DONE the 2nd day of February, 2016.
