ORDER

 This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #17), 

entered on May 19, 2015, and the Petitioner’s Objections (Doc. #18), filed on June 1, 2015. 

 Following an independent evaluation and de novo review of the file in this case, the court 

finds the objections to be without merit, and they are hereby OVERRULED. The court 

ADOPTS the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby 

 ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED with prejudice, and 

this case is DISMISSED because (1) to the extent Williams’s claims are viewed solely as 

challenges to the state court’s denial of his in forma pauperis application and not as challenges to 

the validity of his convictions, Williams fails to present a claim within the scope of federal 

habeas review; and (2) to the extent that Williams’s petition is considered as an attempt to 

challenge his 2007 Houston County convictions for first-degree rape and first-degree sexual 

abuse, it is time-barred under the one-year limitations period in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d).
