CASE NO. 3:14-CV-165-WKW

ORDER

On February 12, 2016, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. 

# 9) to which Petitioner timely filed an objection (Doc. # 11). The court has 

conducted an independent and de novo review of those portions of the 

Recommendation to which objection is made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and finds 

that the objection is without merit. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. # 11) is OVERRULED;

(2) The Recommendation (Doc. # 9) is ADOPTED;

(3) Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 

(Doc. # 1) is DENIED;

(4) All pending motions are DENIED as moot; and

(5) This case is DISMISSED with prejudice because the petition is timebarred by the one-year limitation period in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d).

A separate final judgment will be entered.

DONE this 4th day of March, 2016.
