Amendment; 3) a multiplicitous indictment and prosecutorial misconduct in violation of the

Fifth Amendment; and 4) cumulative errors at trial in violation of his right to present a

complete defense. On November 29, 2012, Respondents filed their Response to Petitioner’s

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Petitioner filed a reply on December 20, 2012. On April

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

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

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is denied

and dismissed with prejudice because it is barred by the statute of limitations.

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal because the dismissal of the Petition is justified by a

plain procedural bar and jurists of reason would not find the procedural ruling debatable.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk to enter judgment accordingly.

DATED this 22nd day of May, 2013.
