Magistrate Judge Bridget S. Bade (Doc. 25) regarding petitioner’s Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The R&R recommends that 

the Petition be denied and dismissed. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they 

had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R. (R&R at P. 32 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)). Upon Motion of the Petitioner, the Court further extended the deadline for 

objections until February 22, 2013 (Doc. 27). Petitioner filed objections on February 11, 

2013 (Doc. 28). 

The court has considered the objections and reviewed the Report and 

Recommendation de novo. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that 

the court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and 

Recommendation to which specific objections are made). The court agrees with the 

Magistrate Judge’s determinations, accepts the recommended decision within the

meaning of Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., and overrules Petitioner’s objections. See 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole 

or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”). 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Report and Recommendation of the 

Magistrate Judge (Doc. 25) is accepted. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court enter judgment denying 

and dismissing petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254 (Doc. 1). The Clerk shall terminate this action. 

Having considered the issuance of a Certificate of Appealability from the order 

denying Petitioner’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, and Petitioner’s Request for 

Certificate of Appealability (Doc. 30) the Court FINDS: Certificate of Appealability and 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal are Denied. With regard to Counts 4 and 9, 

the Petition lacks a substantial question. All other counts are procedurally defaulted. 

Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 

Dated this 20th day of February, 2013.
