ORDER

Petitioner filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254

on May 30, 2008, claiming his sentence imposed was in violation of his constitutional rights.

Respondents filed their response on November 14, 2008, and the Petitioner filed his reply on

December 24, 2008. On March 31, 2009, the Magistrate Judge issued his Report and

Recommendation recommending that the petition be denied. 

In his Report and Recommendation the Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they

had 10 days from the date of service of a copy of the Report and Recommendation within

which to file specific written objections with the Court. The time to file such objections has

long since expired and no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.

Failure to timely file objections to any factual or legal determination of the Magistrate Judge
