MEMORANDUM OPINION

On November 21, 2013, the magistrate judge entered his report and

recommendation, recommending that the court dismiss the habeas petition as barred

by the statute of limitations. (Doc. 6). No party filed any objections. 

The court has carefully considered the entire record in this case de novo,

including the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. The court ADOPTS

the report of the magistrate judge and ACCEPTS his recommendation to dismiss the

habeas petition in this case as time-barred. The court finds that the petitioner has

failed to show that equitable tolling is warranted because he has presented no

extraordinary circumstances for his delay that were both beyond his control and

unavoidable even with diligence.
