OPINION

This litigation is now before the court on the recommendation of the United States

Magistrate Judge entered on October 24, 2007 (Doc. #12), that the petition for habeas corpus

relief filed by Charles Smith, Sr., be denied and dismissed with prejudice as Smith failed to

file the petition within the one-year period of limitation set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).

 After a review of the recommendation, to which Plaintiff did not object, and after an

independent and de novo review of the entire record, the court believes that the

recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate order will be entered.

Done this the 28th day of November, 2007.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson
