 ORDER

Having reviewed de novo the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Estrada in light in Petitioner’s Objection to Magistrate Judge’s Report and

Recommendation (doc. #17), the Court finds that the petitioner’s objections

should be overruled because the Magistrate Judge correctly concluded that the

petitioner’s habeas petition, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on November 18,

2007, must be dismissed as it was filed almost one year after the expiration of the

statute of limitations set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).

As the Magistrate Judge correctly determined, the AEDPA’s one-year

limitations period commenced running on December 8, 2005, and expired on

December 8, 2006. Although the petitioner cursorily raises the issue of equitable

tolling for the first time in his objections to the Report and Recommendation, the

Court concludes that the petitioner is not entitled to any equitable tolling of the

limitations period because he has not made any adequate showing that his failure

to timely file his § 2254 petition was caused by any extraordinary circumstance

beyond his control. Therefore,

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

(doc. #16) is accepted and adopted by the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus by a Person in State Custody Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is denied as

time-barred and that this action is dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of the

Court shall enter judgment accordingly.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no certificate of appealability shall issue.

DATED this 11th day of January, 2010.
