OPINION

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254, petitioner filed this

habeas-corpus case. This lawsuit is now before the court

on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate

Judge that the habeas-corpus request be denied because

the required permission has not been obtained from the

Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Also before the court

are petitioner's objections to the recommendation. After

an independent and de novo review of the record, the

Case 2:07-cv-01043-MHT-CSC Document 7 Filed 01/15/08 Page 1 of 2
court concludes that the objections should be overruled

and the magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 15th day of January, 2008.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
