NOT FOR PUBLICATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Larry Joe Prince,

Petitioner,

v. 

David Shinn, et al.

Respondents.

No. CV-18-03914-PHX-SRB(DMF)

ORDER

Petitioner filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 

on November 6, 2018 raising three grounds for relief: 1) that his constitutional due process 

protections were violated when his plea agreement was breached by the State’s use of that

conviction to revoke his parole; 2) that his guilty plea was involuntary, the superior court 

lacked jurisdiction to accept the plea and he was actually innocent; and 3) that his due process 

and Sixth Amendment rights were violated when the State suppressed exculpatory evidence.

Respondents filed their Response to Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus on 

December 28, 2018. No reply was filed. On December 10, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued 

her Report and Recommendation recommending that the petition be denied and dismissed 

with prejudice.

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

they had fourteen 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 expired and no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.

The Court notes that Petitioner is represented by counsel.

. . . 

The Court finds itself in agreement with the Report and Recommendation of the 

Magistrate Judge.

IT IS ORDERED adopting the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate 

Judge as the order of this Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and 

dismissing it with prejudice because it is untimely.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying any Certificate of Appealability and leave 

to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal because dismissal of the Petition is justified by a 

plain and procedural bar and reasonable jurists would not find the procedural ruling 

debatable.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying as moot Petitioner’s Motion for the 

Immediate Return of Petitioner to the State of Arizona for the Pendency of This 

Proceeding. (Doc. 28)

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk to enter judgment accordingly.

Dated this 22nd day of January, 2020.
