 ORDER

Having reviewed de novo the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Marshall, filed September 5, 2008, notwithstanding that no party has filed

any objection to the Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that the

Magistrate Judge correctly concluded that this action must be dismissed as timebarred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1) inasmuch as the petitioner filed it more

than nine years after the expiration of the limitations period and the petitioner has

not shown that any extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the imposition

of equitable tolling. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation

(doc. #11) is accepted and adopted by the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus by a Person in State Custody Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is denied and
