ORDER

 This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #21), 

entered on June 23, 2015, together with the Petitioner’s Objection (Doc. #22), filed on July 13, 

2015. 

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

finds the objection to be without merit. For the reasons set out in the Recommendation, the court 

agrees that the one-year limitation period in § 2244(d) expired on September 16, 2013, and, since 

the Petitioner did not file his § 2254 petition until October 17, 2013, the petition is time-barred. 

Therefore, the objection is OVERRULED, and it is hereby ORDERED as follows: 

 1. The Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED. 

 2. This case is DISMISSED with prejudice pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 

2244(d).
