 ORDER

 

Having reviewed de novo the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Aspey in light of the petitioner's Reply to Report and Recommendation

(doc. #13), the Court finds that Magistrate Judge Aspey correctly concluded that

the petitioner's Petition for Writ of habeas Corpus, filed on December 18, 2008

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, should be denied as time-barred. 

The Court concludes that the petitioner’s objections to the Report and

Recommendation should be overruled inasmuch as the Magistrate Judge

correctly determined both that the petition was filed almost eight years after the

one-year limitations period mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1) expired on

March 2, 2001, and that the petitioner has failed to demonstrate any entitlement

to equitable tolling of the limitations period given that he has not shown that he

was pursuing his rights diligently during the time period he is seeking to toll or

that any extraordinary circumstances beyond his control made it impossible for

him to file a timely federal habeas petition. Therefore,

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

(doc . #12) is accepted and adopted by the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petitioner’s Petition Under 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254 for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody is denied and

that this action is dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of the Court shall enter

judgment accordingly.

DATED this 29th day of September, 2009.
